Vacqueyras is located in the southern Rhône, producing wine dedicated to mostly Grenache.  The wines are usually compared to that of its famous neighbor,  Châteauneuf-du-Pape.  This blend of 80% grenache and 20% syrah comes from vines averaging 60 years of age in the Vacqueyras lieux-dits of Les Aubes and La Ponche. Both sites consist of primarily sandy soils, with a small proportion of clay. The hand-harvested grapes are partially destemmed and ferment for 20-30 days before aging for 18 months in foudres (90%) and terracotta amphorae (10%). Concentrated flavors of ripe red and black fruit abound, with a subtle peppery, licorice kick
