Santa Duc Vacqueyras 'Les Aubes' 2022 mount-gisborne 6% Petit Verdot and 4%The 2022 Vacqueyras Les Aubes spent one year in a combination of Austrian oak foudres and terracotta amphorae. Vinified from certified biodynamic grapes with 75% whole clusters, it shines with pronounced red cherry and raspberry aromas, licorice and a pinch of white pepper. The medium bodied palate showcases excellent tension, sculpting this 2022 red into an athletic shape. This is a stylish Vacqueyras from the talented Benjamin Gras.
