"Around 1889, Emile Bodin decided to become a winemaker in Cassis and created the Clos Val Bruyère vineyard. Nearly a hundred years later, Sophie Cerciello and her parents inherited it and made the big decision to change their lives to exploit these few hectares of vines and thus revive the estate of their ancestor. The same year, they acquired Château Barbanau, located in the far west of the Côtes-de-Provence appellation, with its abandoned cellar and its production , then sold to the cooperative. Since 1998, Sophie has managed this estate between sky and sea, between Côtes-de-Provence and Cassis with her husband Didier Simonini. Driven by their common passion for nature and living things, they have been able to mark the 30 ha of the domain of their personality and support them towards organic and biodynamic viticulture.
- The Kalahari Desert lies in the heart of Botswana. It contains one of the last remaining protected and virgin ecosystems in Africa. This wine is the image of the passion for the profession and its name was inspired by Sophie and her husband's love for Southern Africa.
- Organic cultivation, manual harvest.
- Fermentation and aging for 12 months on fine lees in pieces.
- Nose : Gingerbread, stewed fruits, white flowers, cinnamon with a light toasted finish.
- Mouth : Alliance of finesse and liveliness.
- Magnitude and length, richness and complexity."
