Camille Cayran Le Vieux Logis Rasteau
Tasting Note
Originally an appellation exclusively producing fortified sweet wines, Rasteau was given full AOC status for creating dry wines in 2010. Located 15 miles northeast of Châteauneuf-du-Pape the wines share a similarity in fantastic quality wines from the southern Rhône. This wine sees a 6-week cool fermentation to preserve the unique personality of the wine followed by 10 months of ageing in concrete tanks to add complexity and subtle oxidative flavours. The nose is powerful, concentrated with black fruits, black olive and spices. This is confirmed by the palate and tied together by present but beautifully silky tannins.
Producer
A co-operative founded in 1929 with only 7 wine growers, Cave de Carainne has now grown to include group of 65 wine growers across the Rhône. Since its inception the co-operative has helped grow the name for the village of Cairanne and was key in creating Carainne AOC in mid-2018. The fruit from each winemaker across some of the top appellations in the southern Rhône is entrusted to head winemaker Denis Crespo who brought Cave de Cairanne back to the limelight in 2015. Supremely talented and with a passion for minimalist winemaking, he has enabled the now organically certified winery to produce a multitude of award-winning, top-quality wines.
