About the Wine
*Please note that this is a zero-alcohol sparkling soft drink*
An ingenious multi-purpose beverage which has quickly become one of our favourite wine alternatives. L’Antidote is made using sparkling Gamay juice which is infused with 15 wild herbs, apple, lemon & ginger; sweetness, fruit and herbs balanced in harmony. Wildly popular for good reason, L’Antidote is the ideal bottle if you are abstaining, but equally the necessary tonic when the morning after requires restorative properties.
Romain has recently experimented with a white version of the beverage, Antilope, which is less sweet and a little subtler than L’Antidote, though just as delicious.
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.
