Description

Domaine Duseigneur is all about making great wine through biodynamic principles, and their dedication to these principles is reflected in the beautiful astrolabe printed on all their labels (an astrolabe is an elaborate instrument used in astronomy, which is part of biodynamics).

Almost everyone who knows anything about French wine knows Châteauneuf du Pape.  Although the regulations allow up to 13 varieties of grapes to be used, Domaine Duseigneur prefers to use 100% Grenache where possible letting the spicy, berry flavours of this variety shine, although in certain vintages they will sometimes add up to 10% of Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault.

Catarina is named after Catherine of Siena, a saint who visited the nearby city of Avignon (which by the way is beautiful, we highly recommend you visit if you get the chance) in the year 1376.

This superb organic Châteauneuf du Pape is made from grapes grown on 3 vineyards, then aged in old oak barrels for 12 months before bottling.
