    Product description

    Located on the rocky plateau of ‘Des Roques’, this estate is managed traditionally using natural fertilizers, tailored treatments and harvest is done by hand. Eclipsed to some extent by the wines from its more illustrious neighbours, Gigondas and Chateauneuf, Vacqueyras has plenty to offer and deserves to be much better known.

    Vertige des gouttes is sourced from a vineyard lying on clay and limestones soil with pebbles. Warm aromatic spicy fruit flavours with notes of dried herbs and leather. Very generous and juicy on the palate with smooth tannins and a good length.
