Les Deux Cols, 'O Font', Cotes du Rhone, France, 2024
Simon Tyrrell, Charles Derain and Gerard Maguire (of 64wine) own Les Deux Cols and make the wine. The vineyards are all either organic or in the process of conversion. Some biodynamic practices are also being adopted. The vineyards have been carefully selected on cooler elevated sites and harvesting is all done by hand and carried out a least a week earlier than the surrounding estates. The wine is fermented using natural yeasts in cement tanks , all with the goal to achieve a lighter fresher style of wine. This is 65% Grenache and 35% Syrah.
