Production of the Le Grand Rêve Réserve 1.5l in GP - Fonjoya Delta

The grapes for this red wine come from Languedoc-Roussillon in the south of France, a region with a Mediterranean climate. Warm days and cool nights produce aromatic grapes, while the influence of the nearby Mediterranean provides balancing breezes. The vines grow on diverse soils of limestone, clay and gravel, lending the blend structure, minerality and depth.

The vineyards around Saint Saturnin de Lucian benefit from abundant sunshine and good ventilation. Carignan, Grenache and Syrah therefore reach optimum ripeness, which is reflected in the intensity of the fruit aromas. The carefully selected grapes are delivered to the Fonjoya Delta winery. Gentle harvesting preserves the aromatic richness and prevents undesirable bitter notes.

In the cellar, gentle processing follows: the grapes are first destemmed and then lightly crushed. Fermentation takes place under controlled temperatures so that the fresh fruit aromas are preserved and a harmonious tannin structure develops. The maceration period is sufficiently long to extract colour, aroma and structural compounds from the grape skins.

The blend then matures in selected vessels that preserve both freshness and depth. Some of the wine comes into contact with wood, contributing delicate notes of vanilla and spice along with a subtle roasted note. Another portion matures in tanks to retain fruitiness and smooth drinkability. The subsequent blending creates a balanced overall profile with depth, complexity and vibrant fruit.

Fonjoya Delta’s style is based on a combination of tradition and modern precision. The winemaker places great emphasis on clear fruit, harmonious structure and an expressive reflection of the terroir. Maturation in the magnum-sized bottle supports particularly slow development, allowing the aromas to unfold delicately and the wine to gain depth over the years.
