Château La Nerthe

One of La Nerthe’s goals is to ensure the right balance of alcohol content and tannin in its wines. This begins in the vineyards…by long tradition, and to avoid the errors that have given some Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines the reputation of being heavy, highly alcoholic, and prone to oxidizing. La Nerthe favors, on the spur of Alain Dugas, varieties with high ageing potential, notably Syrah and Mourvèdre. The yields at La Nerthe are purposely low in order to produce highly concentrated grapes. – www.avignon-et-provence.com
