2020 Domaine Graeme & Julie Bott "First Flight" Syrah, Northern RhĂ´ne, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
The grapes are hand picked and then sorted in the vineyard and at the entrance to the winery. 100% destemmed. Cold maceration in temperature-controlled stainless tanks. Wild yeasts initiate fermentation. The wine ages for 10 months in French oak barrels.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Julie Bott was born in the Northern RhĂ´ne Valley and Graeme Bott is from New Zealand. They met in the small village of Ampuis while working for Stephane Ogier, a producer in CĂ´te-RĂ´tie. Their passion for wine was the motivation behind the decision to create their own wine estate in the Northern RhĂ´ne Valley and together they planted Viognier and Syrah vines in the appellations of CONDRIEU, CĂTE-RĂTIE, SAINT-JOSEPH and SEYSSUEL. Initially Graeme and Julie transformed their own garage into a cellar to make their first three vintages, but have now expanded to a cellar in Ampuis, where their goal is to let the terroir of schist and granite express itself fully in their work. Graeme and Julie produce only micro-volumes of wine and favor quality over quantity. In 2019, Graeme and Julie were named Winemakers & Terroirs of the Future ("Vignerons et Terroirs d'Avenir") by the AdVini Group, in partnership with the Montpellier SupAgro Foundation. This award includes a monetary investment as well as training sessions with AdVini experts.
Graeme and Julie are fiercely passionate about preserving and honoring the incredible terroir they call home and have made a commitment to growing their grapes using sustainable and organic farming practices
