Chateau La Nerthe is one of the oldest estates in Chateauneuf-du-Pape and dates from 1560. Chateau La Nerthe has 227 acres of vineyards that surround the chateau and top the renowned La Crau plateau. The terroir is typical of the region. Vineyards run along a slope and grow in sandy-clay soils. The ground is covered by a layer of galets - large, round, well-worn stones that were carried down from the Alps by glaciers during the last ice age. All the 13 permitted primary varietals are planted here. Grenache dominates 62% of the vineyards and the average vine age is over 40 years old. The grapes are hand harvested and sorted on tables. The grapes are then put into vats for 18 to 21 days with regular pump overs and punch downs. The must is tasted every day during fermentation to ensure the best extraction of the berry compounds. At the end, the wines are racked into oak vats for malolactic fermentation. The cuvee is then racked in large French oak casks and barrels for 12 months before blending. Bottling takes place 6 months later.
