Fully destemmed and given 15 days maceration, the wine is aged for a year in stainless steel and is bottled just before harvest with no sulphur used at any stage. Great value honest Syrah.

About Domaine Lattard

Denis Lattard and his brother Luc are the first and only vignerons in Autichamp, about 30km south-east of Valence, where they planted their first vineyard in 1995 and now farm 7ha. After working as a vineyard manager for an estate in Hermitage he returned to the family farm in 1993 after his father retired. Farming has been organic from the start and the use of sulphur during winemaking was deemed unnecessary from 2007.
