the first and gentlest pressing of Niagara grapes

Alain Castex and Ghislaine Magnier started Casot des Mailloles at Banyuls-sur-Mer in 1994 and spent two decades on steep terraced plots there

with biodiversity and cover cropping treated as part of the work rather than a marketing line

Ruben 2019 Rhône the first and gentlest pressingRuben 2019 is a medium bodied wine made from hand picked Cabernet Franc grapes grown in limestone and clay soil. After gentle maceration for 30 days in concrete tanks, the wine is aged in oak barrels and casks for 15 months and another 6 months in the bottle. The influence of the clays can be seen in the fullness of the mouth, and the minerality of the limestone brings freshness and tension. Perfect for medium aging, enjoy this within the next 10
