Papanapator Rouge is your different style of Syrah. It’s cool, vibrant, fun, easy going wine, a lighter, very drinkable version of this grape.
Pretty ruby red color on the glass. The nose expresses soft aromas of violet, black pepper, and black fruits. Medium-bodied, with blackberry, blackcurrant, and soft tannins showcasing different characteristics of this grape.
Whole cluster, 6 day maceration, spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts. Aging in stainless steel, sur lie. No fining, no filtration, no added S02. Organic farming, harvest by hand.
Before becoming a vigneron, a 20 year old Lolita Sene had another life as an artistic director of a nightclub. This inspired her to combine her loves of partying and science so she returned to school to study agronomy with the ultimate goal of making wine. She quickly became bored of conventional winemaking and discovered the world of natural wine, which she felt touched on “a very particular emotion.” After school, Lolita worked in a cellar and as a sommelier in the U.S., passionately defending natural wine. After a few years of this, Lolita was tired of just serving and talking about natural wine, and so made the decision to move back to France to make her own.
Lolita does absolutely everything by hand, from working the vineyard (hand harvested) to designing the labels. She utilizes a clique press, lightly crushes by foot, and fills her barrels by bucket. Bottling takes place on a small 4-bec machine. Committed to minimal intervention, Lolita’s wines use only organically farmed grapes and are never fined or filtered with zero sulfur added.
Pair it with pork tenderloin, roasted Mediterranean vegetables, charcuterie boards and sharp cheddar cheese.
