Description
Domaine Santa Duc have long been one of our favourite southern Rhone producers. The Habemus Papam is made from a selection of old vine Grenache (60%) and Syrah (40%) selected from the Le Pradel and Le Font du Pape plots in the east and centre of Chateauneuf respectively.
The grapes are hand harvested from vines with an aveage age of 60 years old, and go through two manual sorting processes to ensure only the healthiest berries are used in the final blend. Partial de-stemming and gravity fed into stainless steel for fermentation at controlled temperature for 20 – 30 days, with daily punching over. Gentle pressing precedes malolactic fermentation in vats before ageing takes place in a mixture of Stockinger Foudres and terracotta amphora.
The wine itself is a true joy, with plenty of garrigue notes, a big mouthful of dark fruits and yet remarkable restraint. A chateauneuf to be savoured glass after glass.
