Handford Wines

Vines grown at our Domaine de la Solitude vineyards at Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The 2000 vintage was characterised by an exceptional maturity. Grapes for the Cuvée Barberini come from a selection of the best parcels of our Domaine. Rounded quartzite stones from the Villafranchian period conferring on this domaine one of the best terroirs of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. They absorb heat during the day then radiate it at night, ensuring full grape maturity is reached. 40% Grenache Noir , 30% Syrah, 30% Mourvedre. A thick textured, ripe and full-bodied wine with smooth and integrated tannins, delivering mineral, black fruits, mocha expresso and some smoke without over toasted oak. A beautiful accents. An impressive balance between terroir and ripe fruit - so refined that it can be drunk now or cellared for 20 years.
