This La Pourpre Vacqueyras is produced by the renowned Ogier Caves des Papes winery in the wine-producing village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Ogier has been producing wine here since 1948. After acquiring several vineyards and acquiring the necessary viticultural expertise, the winery dedicated itself entirely to producing high-quality wine. The winery's beautiful Roman-style buildings are located in the cellars, which date back to the 20th century. In the cellars, which date back to the 20th century, the Ogier wines undergo traditional vinification, with further aging taking place in oak barrels.
The wine is vinified traditionally and consists of a blend of 65 percent Grenache and 35 percent Syrah. The grapes are rigorously inspected and selected after harvest, as only the finest juice is good enough for this La Pourpre Vacqueyras. The wine is aged for six to twelve months in French oak barrels. This maturation gives the red wine its unique character.
The Vacqueyras Oratoria glows ruby red in the glass. It is passionate, sultry, and simultaneously spicy. Upon pouring, it immediately releases delicious aromas of red and black fruit, along with herbs like rosemary and thyme. It has a robust flavor and delicate hints of cherry and violet. It is a rich and powerful wine with a long, pleasant finish. A perfect pairing with game dishes and rich meat dishes.
