Vindiou Saint Joseph 2023
Couldn't load pickup availability
The 2023 Saint Joseph has all the hallmarks of great Northern Rhone Syrah, pepper, smoke, meaty umami aromas, however these wines are approachable much earlier than many of the other wines of this appellation. The guys at Vindiou pick early, perform very gentle winemaking techniques with very light extractions, resulting in wines with a softness you might not expect from Saint Joseph.
About Vindiou
Vindiou is the winemaking project of Thomas and Cyprien, the two friends source grapes from local artisanal growers who work small plots without chemicals. Hand harvested, spontaneous fermentations, foot stomped. Vinification in stainless steel + used burgundy barrels (3-4 years old). No additions apart from small doses of SO2. Very small production, a few thousand bottles per vintage.
Their orange label wines are made with grapes from Ardèche and Northern Rhône. The red label wines are from single vineyards in the Northern Rhône. The brothers make wines with supreme drinkability, none of the wines require cellaring (although the top Syrahs will surely age beautifully). Light extraction, approachable styles but with all of the aromas you'd expect from the famous appellations of Crozes-Hermitage and Saint-Joseph.
Due to their success in France, and limited availability, we are one of only a handful of importers outside of France who are lucky enough to be working with these wines.
