DESCRIPTION
History
The 1960 vintage from Domaine Singla is a true witness of time. Crafted using the ancestral mutage method, discovered in the 13th century by Arnau de Vilanova, it has preserved all the natural sweetness of the grapes. A patiently crafted work, rare and precious, ideal as an exceptional gift to mark a symbolic year.
Vinification
After direct pressing of Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, and Macabeu, fermentation was halted by mutage with neutral alcohol, preserving the natural sugars. This old Rivesaltes then rested for over 40 years in oak casks, developing noble oxidative notes. A long refinement in glass demijohns followed to enhance its complexity and aromatic depth.
Tasting Notes
The amber color reveals old-gold highlights. The nose opens with sweet spices and mocha, joined by hints of rum brandy. The palate is broad and balanced, unfolding flavors of dried fruits, candied peel, and blond tobacco, carried by a remarkable length.
A contemplative wine to enjoy at the end of a meal, or paired with seared foie gras, almond pastilla, aged Cantal cheese, or a chocolate-coffee dessert.
REGION
Roussillon
France
Le Rivesaltes est l’un des grands vins doux naturels du Roussillon. Issu principalement de Grenache, Macabeu et Malvoisie, il se décline en styles ambrés, tuilés, grenats ou rosés. Vieillis longuement, les vieux Rivesaltes révèlent des arômes uniques de fruits confits, de noix et de rancio, cette note oxydative recherchée par les amateurs. À leurs côtés, le Muscat de Rivesaltes qui dispose de son AOC propre depuis 1956, propose une autre facette tout en fraîcheur et en parfums de raisin, d’agrumes et de fleurs blanches. Ensemble, ils composent un patrimoine viticole rare, parfait pour les amateurs de vins de garde et de millésimes historiques.
