The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape is elegant, surprisingly soft for the vintage, with good definition, more length than the 2004, but richly fruity, soft, and very much in the style of Quiot, which is a wine that can be appreciated by both neophytes and connoisseurs.

Robert Parker 87-88 Points.

100 % Tempranillo grape from the vineyards of Laguardia.

This Rioja is traditionally hand harvested when the fruit is in a perfect state of maturity. Fermented in steel tanks it then spends 12 months aging in French oak barrels.

This is a full bodied, fantastic wine to pair with a steak, chorizo or a good old barbie!

The wine was noticed by, amongst others, Goodman Steakhouse (considered the best Steak in London) and proudly features on their wine list.

Tempranillo grapes selected from vineyards over 40 years old and with production not exceeding 3,500 kg per hectare planted. Having reached their optimum ripeness, they proceeded to the manual harvesting of the grapes in plastic boxes with 15 kg of grapes each box.

Temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel conical tanks of 17,000 kg capacity, enhancing quality and quantity withdrawals for 11 days. After the fermentation, pumpings were performed daily for 22 days with the skins. Malolactic fermentation done in stainless steel conical tanks. In January 2002 began the process of aging in French oak barrels from four different coopers.
