AOP Costières de Nîmes: an organic, fruity, and spicy red wine

The Terre d’Iris by Gallician Signature is a red wine from the Costières de Nîmes AOP, located south of Nîmes in the Gard department. Situated between the Rhône Valley and the Camargue, this vineyard benefits from a Mediterranean climate characterized by generous sunshine and the influence of the Mistral wind. These conditions promote grape maturity and the expression of southern grape varieties.

🌿 Terroir and vinification:

The Costières de Nîmes AOP is located south of Nîmes, between the Rhône Valley and the Camargue. The vineyard is notably characterized by terraces of rolled pebbles, which promote drainage and store the day's heat. The Mediterranean climate allows for favorable ripening of traditional red grape varieties.

The Syrah brings structure, color, and peppery notes. The Grenache contributes to the roundness and aromas of ripe red and black fruits. The combination of these grape varieties is characteristic of southern red wines and allows for generous and expressive wines.

Terre d’Iris is marketed as an organic wine with no added sulfites. This statement means that no sulfites are added intentionally during the wine's production; it does not guarantee a total absence of sulfites, as fermentation can produce them naturally.

🌱 An organic wine with no added sulfites:

Terre d’Iris is presented by a specialized distributor as an organic red wine with no added sulfites. This approach is part of a production method attentive to the environment and the expression of the fruit.

Organic certification governs agricultural practices and limits the use of many synthetic products. The "no added sulfites" statement concerns winemaking practices. These two indications are distinct and must be used in accordance with the statements on the bottle.
