Xavier Vignon, Côtes du Rhône 'Extra' (Pioneer range)
£22.00
| A slightly different blend to 'Intra' but still based on Clairette, Extra is the wine that keeps Intra safe from oxygen. A little oak on the nose accompanies a pleasantly fruity, lively palate with good citrusy acidity. |

Upbringing: Traditional winemaking. Very long fermentation of several months (6 to 8 months) to allow the yeasts to release more aromatic compounds, followed by an immersion in Vinarium®.
Aged in Vinarium® for 24 months: wood truncated tank designed to accommodate and immerse 5 barrels. Thus, the production of CO2 of the Intra becomes the natural preservative agent of the Extra. |

ABV: 12.5%
