SUBTLE DEPTH
ROC ROUGE is made from 25 year old Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah vines. The Cabernet is not destemmed and is vinified at low temperature for a short period to extract fruit and light tannins. The Syrah is made using the carbonic maceration method . All of our wines are made using only natural yeasts. The care that we take in the winery allows us to use low levels of SO2. (22 mg.l).
