Cuvée A Tempo

Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The Cuvée A Tempo white, from biodynamic viticulture, was settled as Da Capo’s little sister. This cuvée highlights a white wine worked under the osmosis of a traditional Châteauneuf du Pape wine making process with a touch of Burgundy style. A blend of 3 major grape varieties on the Châteauneuf du Pape appellation, the Cuvée A Tempo reveals the expression of Roussanne, Clairette & white Grenache vinified in concrete and sandstone eggs blend with a 3 year old barrel.
