About the Wine
*Please note that this is a zero-alcohol sparkling soft drink*
Antilope, a new non-alcoholic beverage from Domaine Des Grottes. This is the sparking white sibling to the ever popular L’Antidote. Made with organic Malvasia grape juice which is steeped with juniper, gentian, bay leaf and citrus.
The beverage pours an inviting golden in the glass, with a delicate fizz and and long, citrus finish. Antilope is much less sweet and a little subtler than L’Antidote, though equally as delicious!
Another ingenious multi-purpose beverage from Romain. A fun alternative to wine that is the the ideal bottle if you are abstaining, but equally the necessary tonic when the morning after requires restorative properties.
About Domaine des Grottes
Romain Des Grottes is not a typical Beaujolais producer. Let’s start with the vines: after experimentation with one parcel removing half the vines and planting wheat in between proved successful in the face of difficult vintages he applied this to his whole vineyard (average vine age around 40 years), effectively planting 4 hectares of vines on an 8 hectare surface, in his view 'yield per hectare doesn’t mean anything anymore," he says. "We should be talking about yield per plant'. The way he vinifies is also unique, picking a week early the bunches that aren’t to make his direct press 6% Pet Nat, also making a Pied de Cuve with those grapes which he adds to the bunches he picks a week later for his regular wines. This steers the wines in the right direction quickly.
