Renowned for its elegance and delicacy, the cinsault grape is notable for its high yield (though the quality can be outstanding if yields are managed carefully). This variety, indigenous to the Languedoc-Roussillon region, also plays a pivotal role in Provence (France), forming the cornerstone of its celebrated rosés.
In this capacity, the cinsault grape becomes the quintessential representative of this area, acclaimed for its luxury, glamour, and allure. If you are yet to experience this Mediterranean haven, we invite you to discover it with Le Paradou Cinsault rouge, a youthful red wine crafted by the wineries of Le Paradou, a venture established with the purpose of paying tribute to their forebears through their wines.
Embracing the philosophy of "Refreshing Memory," Le Paradou Cinsault rouge emerges as part of this initiative that draws from the grapes grown in clayey, calcareous, and sandy soils, at altitudes ranging from 200 to 300 meters. However, the microclimate of the region will be the true defining factor, characterized by cool nights and warm, sun-drenched days.
Following the harvest, the grapes are destemmed and placed in concrete vats for about 15 days to undergo alcoholic fermentation. Yet, the remarkable trait of Le Paradou Cinsault rouge lies in its meticulous and gentle production process, crafted with the dedication of a job well done. Ultimately, Le Paradou Cinsault rouge is bottled by the Chaudière family, a lineage of vintners neighboring the winery, who also run their enterprise in Mormoiron, at the foot of Mont Ventoux.
The ancestors of Le Paradou fell in love with this landscape, its quaint villages, and its climate. Now, you too can fall under its spell with Le Paradou Cinsault rouge. Beware, for love at first sight is but a matter of time!
