Cotes du Rhone, France
Vinification
Built on a Roman Villae, The Domaine de la Bastide is an old fortified Templar's farm with more than a thousand years old know records. Partly destroyed during the French revolution, it has now come back to its original aim: wine making. The cellar was built in the late 70's. Total capacity of more than 7500 hectoliters. Fermentation is conducted in stainless steel vats of 200 hectoliters with controlled temperature. After fermentation the wine is drained into concrete vats coated with epoxy resins. Vincent and Stephanie Boyer are the second generation operating this winery. They are currently practicing organic viticulture and hope to be certified in the near future. The Domaine de la Bastide is located in the Rhone Valley, 50 km north of Avignon, in a little village called Visan. The vineyards are located in Visan and Suze-la-Rousse. Most of them are on stony dry soils, typical of the South Rhone Valley.

Tasting Notes
Bastide Côtes du Rhône Blanc is a lovely straw gold color with brilliant reflections, aromas of white fruits, pear, apricot and a touch of toasted almonds. Fresh and nicely balance, with a long finish. This wine is fermented on the lees for 20 days in steel tanks.
Pairing
Pairs nicely with fish and cheese, and can be a great aperitif!
