Located on the shores of the Mediterranean in the Provence region of Southwest France, this unique wine transcends what is traditionally done in the area. Made from the grape varietal “Tibourne”, which is a very thin-skinned grape which is becoming exceedingly rare, was originally grown in Mesopotamia before being cultivated by the Greeks. At Clos Cibonne, these grapes are Goblet trained and the Vineyards directly face the sea. This allows for the grapes to be constantly blasted and dried by the winds of the Mistral which makes sure that the grapes aren't affected by Grey Rot.
This wine is made with 90% Tibouren and 10% Grenache, fermented in stainless steel, then aged on lees under Fleurette for 12 months in a large wooden vat.

Tibouren is a rare and ancient grape variety that is grown almost exclusively in the Provence region of France. This grape variety is a hidden treasure of the region, and it is one of the key ingredients in the production of Provencal rose (and the Clos Cibonne rose, which we also stock, ranks among the greatest roses on the planet). Light, spicy, and bursting with flavour, it's ideal with charcuteries or Provencal stuffed tomatoes.
