Bergerie de l'Hortus Red 2013

這是美妙混合了來自Domaine de L'Hortus年輕葡萄園，包括經典Grenache, Syrah和Mourvedre葡萄品種以展現其獨特的個性。

此系列有紅酒、玫瑰紅酒和白酒。紅葡萄於山麓下，而白葡萄則於山谷底，兩者都沒有像於山坡上生長的葡萄暴露於太多天氣元素下。總括來說，這些葡萄都較用作Domaine de l ’ Hortus的成熟。用作紅酒和玫瑰紅酒的葡萄都在較淺的位置生長，接近源石中的石灰岩元素，所以它們對乾旱較敏感。陳年過程需要於酒窖的仔細照顧，而浸漬和陳年則需較少時間。

This is a wonderful blend of young vineyards from Domaine de L'Hortus, including classic Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre grape varieties to show their unique personality.
 
Wines from the great Terroir of Pic St Loup. This range comes in three colours : red, rosé and white. The red grapes grow in land parcels low in the foothills, whilst the whites grow at the bottom of the valley. In both cases the plants are less exposed to the elements than those that grow on the higher slopes. Overall, the grapes mature later than those destined for the Domaine de l’Hortus range. The red and rosé vines grow in shallower scree with limestone elements closer to the source rock. They are, therefore, more sensitive to drought. The maturing process requires great care in the cellars, with relatively short periods macerating and maturing.
