La Vieille Ferme Description
This wine is available in 750 ML, 1.5 L, & 3 L BIB
White from the RHÔNE VALLEY
Since 1970, La Vieille Ferme has been producing authentic, honest and tasty wines vintage after vintage. In some of the world’s best restaurants and bars, La Vieille Ferme has been acknowledged as one of the best value for money wines in the world.
Elegant pale yellow-green colour with silver highlights. This wine opens with a nose full of freshness with notes of lemon and pear delicately mixed with a bouquet of small white flowers. These aromas linger on the palate with beautiful tension and a remarkable balance between juicy fruit and lots of freshness. The finish is saline bringing a delicate hint of bitterness which gives this wine length and flavour.
The 2023 vintage is characterised by a beautiful climatic balance, which is reflected in the cellar. The mild winter was followed by a dry spring then a hot summer, particularly in August and September. Despite a slight lack of rain, these conditions allowed ideal ripening and the harvest began on August 22nd in perfect conditions. Under a warm and radiant sun, the harvest went perfectly, even if it was necessary to work quickly to prevent the juices from oxidizing in the heat, particularly the rosés. The harvest ended on October 4, with the last devatting on October 23. The first tastings reveal very balanced wines: they are rich, powerful and have good concentration, while having retained a beautiful freshness. A vintage that shows great potential.
The white grapes are harvested at optimal maturity. The harvest date is defined through analysis and tasting of the berries. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are pressed using a pneumatic press. After settling, the must ferments in temperature controlled tanks. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the wine is kept in stainless steel tanks until bottling.
VARIETALS: Bourboulenc, Grenache blanc, Ugni blanc, Vermentino
