2005 | Chateau Fortia | Chateauneuf-du-Pape Tradition

Light red. Ripe red berry aromas complemented by a suggestion of gingerbread. Lush, sweet flavors of strawberry and raspberry liqueur are already quite attractive, and silky tannins will not stand in the way of early consumption. Finishes juicy and long.

Producer Information

The Domain Chateau Fortia, is one of the oldest of Chateauneuf du Pape. The estate is situated in the "grenade" neighborhood where the lands are cultivated with vines since the 17th century. It is in the 19th century that Paul Antoine de Fortia, son of Hercule Paul de Fortia developed the vineyard and constructed new buildings; a notorized act of 1815 mention a castle named "la Fortiasse". You can't help but feel the sense of the history of Chateauneuf du Pape, when you see the beautiful buildings at Fortia. Since 2016 Sandra Rochel has been the winemaker and essentially the vineyard manager at Chateau Fortia. During which time she oversaw the conversion to certified organic status for a portion of their holdings. She has broad winemaking experience, having made wine in the Rhone and even Hawkes Bay in New Zealand.
