DESCRIPTION
History
Domaine Singla continues the art of natural sweet wines through centuries-old expertise. Heir to the mutage technique invented in the 13th century by Arnau de Vilanova, this 1958 Rivesaltes is a rare witness to the wine history of Roussillon. Made from Grenache Blanc and Gris and Macabeu, it rested for over 40 years in oak casks before refinement in glass demijohns, developing a unique patina.
Vinification
Direct pressing, mutage on the must to preserve the grapes’ natural sweetness, followed by long oxidative aging “under wood.” This patient process allowed the wine to develop complexity, balance, and aromatic intensity.
Tasting Notes
The deep color announces the depth of this vintage. The nose entices with fine spice and candied orange notes. On the palate, the texture is refined and silky, with remarkable length. Served between 16 and 18 °C, it pairs perfectly with blue cheeses, chocolate-orange desserts, pastries with dried fruits, or can be savored on its own as a digestif.
REGION
Roussillon
France
Rivesaltes is one of the great vins doux naturels of Roussillon. Made mainly from Grenache, Macabeu and Malvoisie, it comes in amber, tawny, garnet and rosé styles. Aged for a long time, old Rivesaltes reveal unique aromas of candied fruit, walnut and rancio, the oxidative note sought by connoisseurs. Alongside them, Muscat de Rivesaltes, with its own AOC since 1956, offers another side, all freshness with scents of grape, citrus and white flowers. Together they form a rare wine heritage, perfect for lovers of wines built to age and historic vintages.
