Producer: La Ferme du Cade (David Teyssier)

Region: Saint Laurent de Carnols, Rhone, France

Wild Scale: 4/5

Vegan friendly wine

Winemaking: Organic Cinsault and Clairette grapes were hand harvested. Whole bunch fermentation with indigenous yeast in stainless steel.  Aged for 7 months. Bottled with no fining, filtration or added sulphur.

This Wine:  Natural red wine made from a mouth watering blend of red and white grapes. Light and juicy with candied raspberry and strawberry flavours alongside something dark and smokey. Surprisingly complex for this style! Drink from the fridge.

Notes on the Winemaker: David Teyssier previously sold grapes to the local co-op but began to explore organic family practices despite the fact that he would not be paid more for this higher quality fruit. Later he tried natural wine for the first time and was encouraged to start making his own wine. He still sells some fruit from his 35 hectares of vines in Saint Laurent de Carnols, Souther Rhône but now also produces honest and straightforward wines at affordable prices.
