Taking its name from the old volcano in the Ardèche where the vineyards cling to the slope. This cuvee is not made every year, only when the conditions are perfect. Composed of different parcels of old vine Grenache Noir that have a mix of limestone and basalt soil. This is very much the senior to his other bottling Neck, the 2018 of which we will receive later in the year. The grapes are harvested for Neck Plus Ultra 10 days later than for Neck for added complexity. This is his only red that is 100% de-stemmed and is aged in barrique for a year.
