The Two Lands a reference to the unification of Vincent and Manu’s vineyards. Two Ardeche growers that no longer wanted to sell their grapes to the co-op and began making wine on their own. Neighbours, Andre Calek, Giles Azzoni and Le Mazel convinced them to take a ‘natural’ approach, no chemicals in the vineyard and sans soufre at bottling.
10 days whole bunch carbonic maceration gives Le Reboule a light fruit forward start in life but under the bonnet is depth, texture and a really generous amount of green leaf driven energy.
