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.

Reviews
"Maison Sinnae, Auriola 2020 - Châteauneuf-du-Pape: The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity.
The nose is dense and complex. It first expresses minty herbaceous notes (eucalyptus, dried
peppermint), associated with juicy and sweet fruity aromas (very ripe morello cherry, wild strawberry,
raspberry coulis, blackberry, chocolate prunes, chocolate morello cherry). We then find a fragrant and
airy floral bouquet (peony, violet, a touch of fresh rose), associated with delicate spice notes (nutmeg,
liquorice, white pepper), a touch of torrefaction (sweet coffee, toasted almond), as well as a touch of
fresh leather and fresh tobacco in the background. The palate is generous, warm and concentrated,
even sweet thanks to its flavors of ripe fruit (morello cherry, wild strawberry, blackberry, black plum,
morello cherry in chocolate, blackcurrant jam). It also expresses a spicy and herbaceous side in the midpalate
(licorice, ground cumin, white pepper, a hint of vanilla, peppermint, bay leaf). At the end of the
mouth, we feel a fine milky side of cherry yogurt, as well as an elegant floral bouquet (rose, iris, peony).
The tannins are sapid, powdery and chocolatey, tense, but smooth. Very good persistence in the mouth,
with the gourmandise of morello cherry in chocolate and tanginess of fresh morello cherry. Beautiful
acidity and freshness." [+]
