Château Mont-Redon
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge play
Region:
France
/ Rhône
Mont-Redon’s estate vineyard has three distinct soil types that are ideal for growing a variety of grapes. Grenache and Syrah are planted to the rocky summit, while Mourvèdre and Cinsault vines thrive in the sandy soil at the sheltered base. At harvest, the fruit is handpicked, sorted and destemmed. Each variety is fermented separately. The grapes are macerated and punched down in tanks to ensure maximum extraction of fine tannins and color. Half of the wine is transferred to barrels after malolactic fermentation while the other half remains in vats. The final blend is crafted only from the best wines.
