Presentation

Presentation
The Perrin family, also owners of the famous Château de Beaucastel, search for the most suitable terroirs to produce a fresh and fruity wine. Unpretentious, this is the archetypal pleasure wine; authentic, genuine and tasty.
The vintage
The 2013 vintage will be recalled for the continuous work in the vineyard to give the best attention to the grapes during the growing phase.
Even if each vine only gave very few bunches this year, the quality is definitely there.
The 2013 vintage is therefore faithful to the typical character of La Vieille Ferme, an authentic, tasty, truthful wine.
Ageing
This is adapted to suit each wine, grape variety and producer. Nearly all the grapes are lightly crushed and fermented in cement vats of 150 and 300 hectolitres. The fermentation is classic and extended. The wine is kept in both vats and large oak barrels for ten months, then bottled in July.
Varietals
Grenache
Syrah

"The Day we tasted this wine, the panel kept coming back to it. "Nine dollars," we kept asking, "for something this fresh, lively and real ?" But the next day, the wine was the same: vibrant and fresh, with an anise-like savor to its cherry-berry fruit. A STEAL!"
