Domaine les Patys, Ventoux, AOC, Arakao, red, organic wine, 2019, from € 19.55

The Arakoa Valley in the Aïr high mountains in Niger may have reminded the winemaker Thierry Delasalle of the barren, bare flanks of Mont Ventoux in his homeland. It is located at the foothills of the mountains, where 200 m high sand dunes form the transition to the desert. There you feel insignificant and you are deeply impressed by the loneliness, the calm and the peaceful atmosphere. That is why he named his best organic wine, Domaine les Patys Ventoux AOC Arakao red, which we found overwhelming, perfectly harmonious, rich, dense, smooth and long-lasting with the first sip. He maintained this high level even on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th evenings.

Organic wine - processing, Domaine les Patys, Ventoux AOC, Arakao red

Twenty to thirty year old vines that grow on the southern slope of Mont Ventoux at an altitude of 250 to 450 m above sea level, provided 30 hl of grape juice for this great organic wine. The best grapes, which were all hand-picked, are selected and fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The Arakoa then matured for 12 months in new oak barrels from the Vosges and Allier regions.
