The Camargue is the magical place where the Rhône River meets the Mediterranean Sea. Vast natural and protected area in the south of France where for centuries horses, flamingos and wild bulls have been freely bred, here is the kingdom of sun, salt, rice, wheat and water. Little rain in summer, long hours of sunlight, frequent winds with the famous Mistral bring clean fresh weather.
Depending on the weather conditions during winter season, the taste of the wheat can vary from year to year. This is the reason why its producers decided to vintage the Vodka Equissolis.
Great care is taken to respect each step of production from the wheat field to the bottling.
The organic soft wheat is sowed on the Domaine just before winter. Harvest takes place in the first days of July at full maturity. The grains are then threshed and stocked. After fermentation, the wheat mash is five times distilled using a column distillation process which reveals all the wheat’s character. Only the purest spring water, totally neutral, crystal clear and transparent is used for reduction in order to assure the delicacy of this Vodka.
Each harvest is put on the market the following spring, in a limited number of numbered bottles. Vodka Equissolis has been awarded ECOCERT* due to practicing organic farming methods and distillation.
The vintage 2012 is crystalline. On the nose, its finesse and freshness emphasize its origin with notes of wheat grain combined with a touch of peppery lemon scent. After a delicate and smooth approach on the palate, its roundness combined with its contained strength, unveils its purity. Spicy, subdued notes of citrus fruit peel and flower prolong this tasting.
