Regional information: Located near the town of Avignon, at the heart of the Rhône Valley, Bonpas is a former fortified convent given to the Carthusian monks by Pope Jean XXII en 1318. Our wines are the legacy of seven centuries of tradition, patience and hard work. Sophisticated and elegant, they embody the terroir and varietals of this famous region through their power and fruity taste.
Vinification: A pneumatic press is used to extract the juice, followed by maceration for approximately 30 days.
Fermentation takes place at 25°C and alternates daily between pumping over, settling of the must and carefully handled aeration techniques. This is to develop anthocyanins and tannins to yield a rich, balanced, deeply coloured wine with powerful yet delicate tannins.
The cuvée is aged on fine lees in both stainless steel and concrete tanks.
