Domaine André Berthet-Rayne Vieilles Vignes Cairanne is an intense ruby red with purple hues, testifying to its youth. Expressive aromas on the nose; fresh raspberry and strawberry with a hint of cocoa. The palate is well balanced with lots of red fruit coming through.
The Berthet-Rayne family have been farming here since 1880, and today the 25 hectare estate is run by André, his wife Marina, and their daughter Alexandra André is very much committed to a natural approach in the vineyard, seeing this as a return to common sense, and the estate was certified organic in '11. Their excellent Cairanne comes from vines with an average age of 60 years old.
Grapes are destemmed after harvesting before fermentation occurs via the délestage technique; softening tannins. Pumping over during fermentation encourages maximum colour and fruit extraction. Juice undergoes 20 days maceration before pressing, maturation occurs in concrete tanks for one year before bottling.
