Saint Joseph 2018 Dard et Ribo
Saint Joseph 2018 is a French red wine from the Rhone Valley produced by Dard et Ribo. It is made from 100% Syrah grapes that come from a small plot of land composed of clay, gravel and alluvial stones. The wine ferments in truncated conical vats for 90% of the whole bunch and 10% destemmed and then crushed with the feet to facilitate the start of fermentation; maceration takes place for 20 days, then the wine ages for 10 months in old 500-litre barrels. Saint Joseph 2018 by Dard et Bibo expresses a bouquet of violet and pepper, while the sip is savoury but enveloping, with an acidulous finish.
