Chateau la Nerthe Vineyard, Chateauneuf du Pape
Large single piece organic vineyard with 13 appelations planted
This vineyard has been certified organic since 1998 and grow 13 different varieties of grape in one large 98 hectare vineyard.
The majority of the vineyard is spectacularly rocky for some of the high terraces in this area and consists of marl and clayey sand strewn with pebbles in the gently sloping portion coming down the hill.
Their entire production falls under the AOC Chateauneuf du Pape and the main wines produced here are 'Chateau de la Nerthe' in red and white.
The chateau is open by appointment for wine tastings, however they don't appear to turn people away that arrive adhoc.
Email or call for a reservation.
