Domaine la Florane A Fleur red 2022
$ 38.00 incl. GST
Description
85%-ish Grenache, 10% Syrah, last few % Carignan and Cinsault, from soils with a higher clay component. Wild fermented in tank, then aged in concrete on fine lees before bottling.
Fun, bright, fresh, juicy – a wine of boovability, or what we Aussies would call a smasher.
“Ripe scents, maybe some stewed fruit but immediately you get lavender and the garrigue type of mixed herb-spice bouquet and braised meat. It’s plummy and earthy, with black liquorice sweetness and warming spice lingering in the back. It’s plush juice with firm tannins and iron stone as the lasting impression. As a whole, it delivers the goods.” 92 points, Kasia Sobiesiak, Winefront

Domaine La Florane / Southern Rhône
Organic Côtes Du Rhône Villages From The Rarely Seen Terroir Of Visan
Domaine La Florane is an exciting find which further broadens the options of excellent Southern Rhône wines available in Australia. The 35 hectare property is situated on a south-facing slope at the highest point of the Visan appellation (elevation is 195 – 320 metres), viticulture is certified organic (biodynamic practice) and the winery has been purpose built to maximize use of gravity, with wines matured in wood and concrete. A key philosophy is that no stylistic blending is practiced at the estate – the same blocks make up the same cuvées each year, showcasing the season.
Few Visan wines are seen in Australia. The hilly village is located around 10km north of Cairanne, with vines grown in clay-limestone soils. Domaine La Florane’s terroir is gravelly and scattered with large round pebbles; its aspect and high limestone content coupled with the steady mistral wind raises wines of freshness and invigorating natural acidity. Visan was granted Côtes du Rhône Villages appellation status in 1966.
