After a dry winter, with the soil mineralising under the best possible conditions, the early spring was marked by frosts which had a severe impact on the Côtes du Rhône vineyards. Despite this, the terroirs of Maison Sinnae were relatively spared, which enabled the vegetative cycle to get underway with average earliness. The rather rainy spring gave rise to abundant flowering. This produced fresh, taut rosés, powerful, tannic reds and an exceptional white vintage.

This cuvée was created in honour of the Voltinia family, the first Romans to set foot on the soil of Chusclan, bringing with them the knowledge of the vine and of wine.
Villa Voltinia is the fruit of this ancestral know-how: a delicate nectar shaped with care.

Reviews
"A rich and fruity CDR with dark cherries, currants, dark plums, dried thyme and incense on the nose. Medium body with fine, firm tannins. Crunchy fruit with serious character towards the finish. Grenache and syrah. Drink or hold."
