Crozes Hermitage 2019 Dard et Ribo
Crozes Hermitage 2019 is a fine wine from Rhone Valley produced by Dard et Ribo. Hermitage 2018 is a fine wine from the Rhone Valley produced by Dard et Ribo. This Hermitage Rouge is made from Syrah grapes grown in their own vineyards located in the municipality of the same name, all worked according to biodynamic principles. Harvesting is done by hand with great care taken to select the best grapes, while in the cellar the bunches are 90% destemmed, while the remaining non-de-stemmed part will develop spontaneous fermentation using only indigenous yeasts; maceration lasts 20 days and ageing takes place in 500-litre barrels for over a year. Dard et Ribo's 2018 Croze Hermitage shows a fascinating ruby red colour, while the nose expresses a bouquet composed of ripe fruit, tobacco leather and flowers for a rich, deep and creamy but balanced by a mineral sip.
