Les Vignerons D'Estézargues, Wines in Harmony With Nature

<p>People often ask me for my take on the sulphate free 'natural wines' that are commonly featured in the press and I must admit that they appear to be gaining some traction, even if its only in the psyche of the wine drinking public due to their rarity on UK wine shelves. </p>

<p>Natural wine</p>
<p>Firstly, due to the absebnce of sulphates as a preservative, natural wines can be a fairly unstable product meaning that often there can be quality issues with the wines. The result of this is that many producers are reluctant to risk losing out on an entire vintages work and investment should issues with spoilage arrive. This sadly means that for the time being at least natural wines remain something of a rareity on UK shelves so it is therefore quite exciting to be able to bring you natural wines fomr an esteemed Rhone Valley producer who appears to have hit that sweet spot between quality, reliability and value for money.</p>
<p>The Les Vignerons D'Estézargues estate may have access to grapes grown over 400 hectares of land but actively shuns the practice of bulk wine production. Every drop of wine that they produce it bottled on the estate and impressively over half of their annual production is sold directly from the 'cellar door'.</p>
<p>The wines themselves are classic Rhone Valley blends of Grenache Blanc, Clairette Blanche, and Bourboulenc for the white and <span>Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Mourverde and Cinsault make up the red. They are both vibrant wines with none of the farmyard aromas which are often present in low sulphate wines. We have been consistently pleased with the wines from this excellent estate and if natural wine producers can maintain this kind of quality and consistency then I'm sure that low and no sulphate wines could have a birght future!</span></p>
