Val De Combrès Les Vacances 2022
 
Val's lightest, juiciest red. 100% young vine Grenache, half macerated in whole bunches for 10 days, half direct-pressed, before being blended together to rest in fibreglass cuve then bottled the following spring with no additions.
 
Although a little deeper in colour than previous vintages, lightness and purity of fruit is the goal here. There is a small amount of residual sugar which gives the bountiful cherry and raspberry fruits a confected quality, with anise-like spices. A fluid wine with pronounced luminosity and just so much fun to drink - 'the grenadine of the estate' as Val likes to call it.
