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.

Terroir
The vineyard is situated on the best-exposed terroirs on limestone and sandy soils mixed with pebbles, ploughed during the year. The work on the growing vines is rigorous (bud pruning, leaf removal, green pruning) to limit the yields and thus improve the quality.
Winemaking
Manual harvesting, total stripping and crushing. Fermentation maintained at 28°C followed by maceration of 3 to 4 weeks. The wines are lightly filtered before bottling.
Ageing
The tannic Syrah and Grenache wines are matured in French oak barrels for 12 months, the more supple Grenaches in concrete vats and century-old oak tuns to preserve the fruit.
