Description
Domaine Viret
In a magical place steeped in history, Saint-Maurice, in the Rhone Valley. Advocates of the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture, the Viret family has chosen to employ a particular form of natural viticulture throughout their estate. Known as “cosmoculture®”, this is based on cosmotelluric exchanges. Everything is organised in such a way that both vines and wines are able draw on their own natural defences.
Work in the vineyards focuses on reorganising the magnetic field and on the application of homeopathic and naturals preparations made from rocks and plants that are often found in the vineyards. Alain, Philippe’s father, built the winery on an ancient Roman site around an underground spring which they believe energises the vineyards and the winery.

The Energie is. Syrah co-fermented with Muscat and Viognier. On the nose it has aromas of dark fruits, liquorice and chocolate. The palate is smooth, balanced, with soft tannins.
Great to drink on it’s own or to pair with light dinners.
