Julie Karsten farms 10 hectares of organic Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, and Mourvèdre in Castillon-du-Gard, near where the Rhône approaches the sea, west of Avignon. She inherited the estate in 2008 from her in-laws; having received no formal winemaking or viticultural training, she learned on the job and through the guidance of her father-in-law. These humble wines are made using natural processes: only indigenous yeasts, aging in large tanks, with only minimal SO2 additions during aging and before bottling. The result is a classic Côtes-du-Rhone made with respect for the vines and the surrounding natural environment. Plus it tastes much, much better than other bottles from this appellation: medium+ in body, but with actual character. Great value.
