RASTEAU
2019 Heritage 1924 Domaine des Escaravailles
2019 Rasteau 'Heritage 1924' 100% Grenache from, as the name suggest a vineyard planted in 1924, some real old vine fruit. Totally destemmed and concrete fermentation and ageing. You don't need any oak with this. It has such a purity of fruit that it just needs to be kept simple, the nose is bright and lifted, floral notes of violets with really bright raspberry, the lovely sweet fruit flows, this is generous and will make you smile, a joy to drink if like me you love the purity of Grenache. Enjoy now and over the next 5-8 years.L&S (Sept 2021)

Domaine des Escaravailles
Domaines des Escaravailles was established in 1953 by Jean-Louis Ferran and his two sons, Daniel and Jean-Pierre, in the village of Rasteau.
Today it is run by the third generation of the family, Gilles, the son of Daniel. With vineyards on not only the clay, limestone hillsides of Rasteau, but also in Cairanne, Roaix, Villedieu and St Roman de Malegarde. The estate is run organically and everything is done by hand with the wines made in the cellars in the heart of the property in Rasteau.
The estate takes it's name from the Occitan word for the Scarab Beetle, which you will also find adorning the labels of the wines.

STORAGE OPTIONS:
Wines bought en primeur are scheduled to arrive in the UK over the course of the next eighteen months. If you do not wish to take home delivery, you may wish to consider where you would like the wines shipped on arrival in the UK. Lea & Sandeman offers duty paid and in bond storage through a dedicated storage company called Elephant Storage. For more details on the terms and fees associated with storage please go to our Storage Homepage or contact our primeurs team for more information.
While helpful, we do not require a firm commitment on delivery destination to process your primeur order at this stage. Our team will be in contact with you when your wines arrive in the UK to confirm the necessary delivery details.
