From the middle ages vines have been grown on the Plaine du Plan de Dieu in the heart of the southern Rhone. Back then you were taking your life in your hands crossing the plain as it was very much bandit country – hence whether you survived was dependent on God’s plan! Pascal Maillet is kind of “living the dream.” No winemaking background and only a degree in computer science to guide him, together with his wife, Marie-Pierre, they bought this traditional estate in 1993 and threw themselves into it. Classic southern Rhone – Grenache/Syrah blend with various other usual suspects playing support, it’s got layers of red fruit, spice and garrigue herbs in abundance; not shiny or polished, just gutsy and satisfying.

The palate is full and textured with pronounced minerality and delicate ripe fruit flavours leading to a long, spicy finish.

DR. LO Riesling has just the right amount of fruitiness to balance the crisp acidity. On the palate it is clearly Riesling, but it walks the line between a fruity and drier style. The characteristic acidity of Mosel Riesling helps it finish fresh and clean. If shown blind it may not be recognized as alcohol-free.
