Paradis le Domaine Vermentino – 75 cl

History

Discover our terroir by savoring the wines in the “Paradis Le domaine” range, the fruit of our ideas laboratory, combining know-how and discovery.

Discover Vermentino, a drought-resistant Mediterranean grape particularly suited to our climate. Its brittle wood and drooping habit make it a demanding grape variety in viticulture, producing aromatic wines with a characteristic bitter finish. Grown at Paradis since 2014, it expresses all its freshness and finesse on our terroir. Its slight bitterness underlines the mineralitý limestone of our soils.

Terroir and winemaking

Grande Terre parcel – 2014 plantings on limestone soil.

Rapidly harvested in the coolest hours of the night, to avoid maceration and oxidation, the juices are obtained after direct pressing. Careful treatment of the lees and fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks then reveal the full potential of the grapes.

After a short ageing period on fine lees, the wines are racked for blending. It’s at this stage that our winemaker fine-tunes the wine’s personality and determines how best to express our terroir.

To keep sulfite levels as low as possible, we deliberately keep more gas in the wine. As a result, the first glass may appear slightly pearly. This sensation quickly fades, and after a little aeration, the wine’s full aromatic potential is revealed.
