The Vacqueyras terroir is characterized by soils of rolled pebbles and sand , as well as a hot, dry climate with optimal sun exposure. The vines are planted on steep slopes, which allows for good natural irrigation and optimal ripening of the grapes.
Vacqueyras red wines are made from Grenache Noir (minimum 50%), Syrah (minimum 20%), and Mourvèdre (minimum 20%) grapes, which impart complex aromas of red fruit, spice, leather, and garrigue. Vacqueyras wines are known for their power, elegance, and aging potential. The soils of rolled pebbles and sand, along with a warm, dry climate, contribute to the structure and unique character of Vacqueyras red wines.
The white wines of Vacqueyras are made from grape varieties such as Bourboulenc , Grenache Blanc , Clairette , and Roussanne . These wines are characterized by aromas of citrus, white flowers, and stone fruit, as well as a lively and refreshing acidity.
