Type: Light-Bodied Red / Glou-Glou (Natural / Zero-Sulfur-Added)
Region: Vin de France (Sourced from Loire Valley, Vinified in Alsace)
Grapes: 100% Pineau d’Aunis
Alcohol ABV: 12.5%
Aroma: Wildly aromatic with distinct white pepper spice, tart red cherry, green pineapple, and damp underbrush.
Palate: Lean and electric with high-toned acidity, crunchy raspberry fruit, herbal complexity, and a pleasantly rustic, bitter-almond finish.
The hand-harvested grapes are brought to Farid’s facility in Alsace where they undergo a gentle, 10-day whole-bunch maceration to protect the grape’s signature peppery aromatics. Fermentation occurs entirely spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in old wood barrels without any temperature manipulation. The wine is aged for 8 months in neutral French oak on its fine lees and bottled completely raw—zero additives, zero filtration, and absolutely no added sulfur (SO₂).
The rare Pineau d’Aunis grapes are sourced from a trusted partner vineyard in the Loire Valley that is farmed strictly using organic and biodynamic viticulture principles. The vines grow in typical Loire soils combining clay, sand, and gravel over limestone, which limits yields naturally and maximizes structural tension. Given the finicky nature of this thin-skinned variety, meticulous canopy management is used to prevent sunburn and control botrytis without the use of chemical sprays.
