Afternoon: You will be heading south to the legendary vines of Hermitage. Cultivated on the left banks of the Rhône on very special terroir, you will discover the unique hillside position that this appellation holds in this part of the valley where a natural micro-climate produces high temperatures to produce their particular red fruit and wild flower aromas in these wines.
