Vinification of the Saint-Joseph La Croix des Vignes Red by Paul Jaboulet Aîné

This powerful red wine from France is made from the Syrah grape variety. Saint-Joseph La Croix des Vignes Red is an Old World wine in the best sense of the word, as this Frenchman breathes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underscores the success of Old World wines. After the hand harvest, the grapes immediately enter the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
