Domaine la Florane A Fleur red 2023
$ 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.
Stewed plums and some stony minerality lead the nose, with its trademark wild ferment olde worlde pong; the contrast of this wine is the clean and beautifully fruited palate. More plums, sweet liquorice, earth and black fruits weave through the palate, over fresh but grippy tannins. As always, fun, bright, fresh and juicy – a wine of boovability, or what we Aussies would call a smasher.

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.
