JOSEPH IN NORTHERN RHONE<br> The village of Saint Joseph was remnamed for a short period after the French Revolution, when all names with "saint" were recalled. At that time St. Joseph was called &#8220;Roquebrussane,&#8221; meaning brown stone, like the soil there. North of Hermitage, in an area long about 40 kilometers, Saint Joseph&#8217;s vineyard is one of the most important on the right bank of the Rh&#244;ne river in the north of the valley. The soil is schist (dark stones). <br><br> GRAPE VARIETIES: 100 % Syrah <br><br> WINEMAKING: Grapes originate from selection of parcels: old plots nearly one century old, with ideal exposures and low yields. Grapes are harvested by hands and rigorously sorted. Grapes are vinified separately after total de-stemming. Long macerations (3-4 weeks) are done with frequent pump-over and daily control (analysis and tasting). <br><br> MATURATION: We age the wine in French oak barrels for 10 to 12 months before blending. The bottled wine is aged for several months before release. <br><br> </P> <P> <LI>SKU: ST03MB7 <LI>Apply my Wine Club Discounts!: No, I'm not a Wine Club member; Yes, I'm a Wine Club member</P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Category2" TITLE="Maison Bouachon Rhone">Maison Bouachon Rhone</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product3 TITLE="2005 Chateauneuf du Pape La Tiare du Pape">2005 Chateauneuf du Pape La Tiare du Pape</A> -- Famous wine from Rhone Valley, France <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product2 TITLE="Chateauneuf-du-Pape &quot;Dedication&quot; 2003">Chateauneuf-du-Pape "Dedication" 2003</A> -- Best of Vintage Small Lot (micro-cuvee) <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product15 TITLE="Cotes du Rhone Red 2006">Cotes du Rhone Red 2006</A> -- Cotes du Rhone Les Rabassieres Red <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product5 TITLE="Gigondas 2003">Gigondas 2003</A> -- Red wine from Rhone Valley <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product16 TITLE="Gigondas 2005">Gigondas 2005</A> -- Gigondas Syrah/Grenache 2005 <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product10 TITLE="Tavel Rose 2007">Tavel Rose 2007</A> -- Quintessential Dry Rose from Rhone Valley <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product6 TITLE="Vacqueyras 2005">Vacqueyras 2005</A> -- Vacqueyras Syrah/Grenache 2005 <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa/Product4 TITLE="White Chateauneuf du Pape 2004">White Chateauneuf du Pape 2004</A> -- 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape La Tiare du Pape White </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/sfwa" TITLE="Skalli Family Wines Americas Products">Skalli Family Wines Americas Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.sfwamericas.com">Skalli Family Wines Americas</A> <BR>Skalli Family Wines Americas <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
