Domaine Ilarria Irouléguy Rosé 2021 varietal_Field-Blend Grape varieties are distilled separately

Grape varieties are distilled separately on a travelling still fired with wood

Now owned by Regis and Lynn Bernard

The goal is simply to cultivate healthy grapes that need little in the way of intervention once they are in the cellar

and he’s experimenting using reclaimed amphorae (refurbished at the winery using the local clay)

His neighbors were not accepting of his methods

Domaine Ilarria Irouléguy Rosé 2021 varietal_Field-Blend Grape varieties are distilled separatelyA blend of Tannat and Cabernet Franc that is ripe and juicy like a plum about to burst; a very generous vintage for this wine. Alpine strawberry, sour cherry, rhubarb, and savory roasted red pepper all kept in check with refreshing Basque minerality. More vivid and more ruddy than anything from Provence, this is almost getting into light red territory. This vintage also feels just a bit more rustic and playful than in the past.
