Description
60% Grenache, 30% Carignan, and 10% Syrah/Mourvedre
The name, La Luminaille, comes from the bright glow of the olive tree’s leaves under a full moon. Julie Paolucci (winemaker/owner) is the fifth generation of her family to farm in the quartier of “la lumière”, and it was her father, Jean-Claude, who really developed the family’s vineyards. Today, Julie’s property includes 12 hectares of vines and 3 hectares of olive trees. Garance refers to a local herb that produces a deep red dye.
The wine comes off of very old vines (around 70 years). Spicy black fruits on the nose with notes of plum and blood orange on the palate. There are provencal herbs and a slight salinity on the finish, all with fine-grained tannins. 15% ABV
