Hermitage 2018 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 Tain l'Hermitage, all of which are worked according to biodynamic principles. The harvest 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 and a half. Dard et Ribo's Hermitage 2018 shows a fascinating ruby red colour, while the nose expresses a bouquet composed of smoky, orange peel and fresh fruit notes, for a rich, deep and creamy but balanced by a mineral sip.
