La Vieille Ferme Recolte - Red – A Rustic Red with French Soul
La Vieille Ferme Recolte - Red is a quintessential French country wine, brimming with character, freshness, and everyday charm. Produced by the esteemed Famille Perrin in the southern Rhône Valley, this approachable red blend is beloved for its authenticity, value, and effortless drinkability. Whether you're hosting a casual dinner or simply unwinding after a long day, La Vieille Ferme Récolte Rouge is the perfect companion—unpretentious, flavorful, and consistently satisfying.
A Blend Rooted in Tradition
This classic red is crafted from a harmonious blend of traditional southern French grape varieties—Carignan, Cinsault, Grenache, and Syrah. Grown on the sun-drenched slopes of the Luberon and Ventoux regions, the grapes benefit from rocky soils and a warm Mediterranean climate that encourages ripeness, balance, and aromatic complexity.
Each varietal brings something special to the blend: Carignan adds structure, Cinsault softens with floral notes, Grenache contributes juicy red fruit, and Syrah rounds things out with spice and depth. Together, they create a wine that is well-rounded, vibrant, and true to its Rhône Valley origins.
