Domaine du Trapadis - Rasteau Rouge "Les Cras" 2020

This Rasteau Rouge is powerful with pleasant suppleness.

Based in the heart of the Rasteau appellation of Rhône, Domaine du Trapadis has been owned and run by the Charavin family since 1850. Helen Durand, the current owner, is the fourth generation of the Charavin family to grow grapes upon these soils. Spanning 35 hectares, the domaine’s vineyards are grown under the appellations of AOP Rasteau, AOP Rasteau VDN, AOP CDRV Cairanne, AOP CDRV Roaix, AOP CDR, and Vin de France. This cuvee comes from Rasteau vines that are 30 years old, pruned in cordon de Royat.

A powerful wine which reveals itself with a beautiful deep red colour with some garnet highlights and a remarkable bouquet of red fruits, laurel and garrigue. In the mouth we discover a pleasant suppleness followed by a finish of freshness and minerality. 70% Grenache Noir, 10% Carignan, 10% Mouvedre, 10% Syrah.
