FrançaisBottling 2016 La Tasque
Bottling 2016 Syrah and Carignan
We bottled our 2016 Syrah and 2016 Carignan yesterday, 2500 bottles in all. It was a small but perfectly formed vintage – our best yet we think. It needs more time to mature in bottle so it won’t be released until next year. In the meantime, here are some photos of bottling, using a high tech bottling line from the back of a lorry.

Bottling 2015 vintage
We had a busy day on Tuesday, bottling our 2015 vintage. We made three wines in 2015, Domaine La Tasque Carignan and a varietal Syrah. Also Tasque Grenache, which comes from a small vineyard of old vines which is owned by a friend of ours.
