\u201cMaking the past a strength. An influence. Demanding precision, subtlety. Imagining the finest of wines, generous, ambitious. The continuation of our story. A story of a name, a winery rooted at the heart of Hermitage.\u201d – Ferraton P\u00e8re & Fils<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve been fortunate to drink several<\/a> of the \u201ceveryday\u201d wines from the Ferraton P\u00e8re & Fils<\/a> portfolio in the last couple of years or so. Not only are they quality wines that exemplify the best of the Rh\u00f4ne\u2019s terroir, but they are ridiculously affordable. I mean these Ferraton wines seriously over-perform for their price points. I\u2019ve had them with family, shared them with friends, and all have enjoyed the experience of drinking these wines. Not to mention that I\u2019ve seriously swooned over their Ros\u00e9<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ferraton was founded in 1946 and believe it or not, some of their original vines are still producing fruit today! As a grower-n\u00e9gociant, they are a highly respected producer in France\u2019s Rh\u00f4ne Valley. Twenty percent of their production is estate wines. All are biodynamic and, since 2015, Demeter-certified, with fruit coming from the domaine\u2019s 37 acres of prime vineyards in the northern Rh\u00f4ne\u2019s Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage and St. Joseph appellations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
