Babass

Grape Variety: 55% Grolleau, 45% Gamay

Producer: Les Vignes de Babass (Sebastién Dervieux)

Region: Loire, France

Wild Scale: 4/5

10% alcohol

Winemaking: Organic Grolleau and Gamay grapes were harvested by hand. Fermentation with indigenous yeast. Aged in tank. No filtration, fining or added sulphur.

This Wine: Natural red wine with a light body and low alcohol content. A brand new cuvée from Babass which is dedicated to Agnes, his partner. Electric red fruit flavours with light, dusty tannins. A touch of well-integrated volatile acidity brings further energy to this fun bottle that should be drunk from the fridge.

Notes on the Winemaker: Babass is a legendary name in the world of natural wine. Winemaker Sebastién Dervieux set up this domaine (now 4 hectares) in the Loire back in 2011 after previously working with Patrick Desplats as Domaine des Griottes. He produces wild wines from local grape varieties that reflect terroir and vintage authentically.
