Natural Sweet Wine, a unique treasure !
In 1934, winemakers encouraged the over-ripping of the grapes and produced a first Natural Sweet Wine.
The quality of the final product is encouraging.
The Rastellains further improve the quality of this juice, which is as rare as it is rich in flavor.
In 944, less than 10 years after the first production, these products had a protected designation of origin i their name : AOP Natural Sweet Wine. Rasteau, Cru of the Rhône Valley.
This year the designation celebrates its 80th years !
