The many hours of sunshine allow the grapes to ripen evenly, and the fresh breeze from the mountaintops provides the necessary cooling. This mix of weather influences plays a significant role in the top quality of the harvest. But the soil structure is also crucial, explains the winemaker. The soil consists primarily of pebbles, clay, and gravel, which allows the vines to develop deep roots. These roots allow them to easily absorb moisture and provide the clusters with the necessary nutrients. The result is a world-class red wine, smooth and easy on the palate.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e This red Perle du Sud wine is wonderfully soft\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nPerle du Sud Merlot Grenache is an intense yet very smooth red wine.
