Château Rayas Blanc

Spontaneous fermentation

Producer: Château Rayas
Colour: White
Last seen vintage: 2014
Grape varieties: Clairette, Grenache Blanc
Origin: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Rhône, France

The vines grow in a cool, wooded north-facing site on predominantly sandy soils, unusual for Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where rounded pebbles usually predominate. Grenache blanc and Clairette are fermented separately in very old wooden vessels with natural yeasts and then blended; ageing lasts approximately nine to eleven months. The wine is concentrated, full and creamy, while retaining supporting freshness. Yellow fruit and complex, mature aromas define the style; the 2014 vintage is considered long-lived.
