Amber-colored with a rich aroma of dried fruit, tobacco, and honey, characteristic of the old Rivesaltes from the region. On the palate, hints of walnuts, honey, and orange peel with a rich and sultry mouthfeel that lingers for a long time.
Rivesaltes Domaine des Schistes VDN Solera
Alcohol percentage: 16%
Classification: A.C. Rivesaltes
Type of wine: Powerful sweet white wine
Closure: Cork
Organic: Organic
Country: France
Region: Roussillon
Producer: Domaine des Schistes, Estagel
Grape variety(ies): macabeu, grenache gris
Wine making:
The grapes undergo a short skin maceration and are then pressed directly, after which fermentation begins. During fermentation, neutral wine alcohol is added (mutage sur moût), stopping the fermentation. The fermentation and the first part of the maturation take place in cement tanks and old foeders, large wooden barrels. To promote positive oxidation, the barrels are not completely filled. The refinement takes place in oak demi-muids, where the wine is blended according to the 'solera' system. The vines are 40 years old, and the yield is only 30hl/ha.
Producer information:
Jacques and Nadine Sire have been the enthusiastic owners of Domaine des Schistes in Estagel since 1990. This beautiful village is located in the best part of Roussillon, the weathered, rugged area at the foot of the Pyrenees. The 55-hectare vineyard consists mainly of a rocky soil of marl, here and there limestone and layered schist, or slate. The more than 40-year-old vines are carignan, grenache noir, syrah, lladoner pelut (garnacha peluda) and some grenache blanc. Half of their wines are intended for export, and sales take place almost entirely in restaurants. Domaine des Schistes is an example of the great potential of this area. The French wine press is amazed that Jacques and Nadine and their son Mickaël manage to take the wines from their estate to a higher level every year. Since the 2007 vintage, their son Mickaël, a certified oenologist, has also been responsible for the high quality of the wines.
Area information :
The Roussillon is the southernmost part of mainland France and has a Mediterranean climate. Due to a great diversity of soils and microclimates (terroirs) and the use of about 20 mainly local grape varieties, there is a very varied range of wines. At present, true wine gems are coming from here. While in the first half of the last century more than 70,000 ha were in production, currently this is around 40,000 ha. This is the result of the pursuit of more quality wines. The soil varies from limestone and marl to granite and slate; the latter is a poor type of soil that retains water with difficulty. The roots of the vine must push between the slate plates in search of moisture, an ideal starting point for producing quality wines.
Serve with:
Perfect with foie gras with figs, chocolate cake, desserts with nuts and spices (mousse au paind’épices), mature cheeses, and with a fine cigar.
Serving temperature: 12 to 14°C
Other Information:
For this Rivesaltes, the grapes are hand-picked plot by plot based on full (over)ripeness, with the grapes having to have a minimum potential alcohol content of 15.5%. The oldest wine in the Solera is currently 20 years old. Each year, a maximum of 20 to 30% of the oldest barrels is bottled, to safeguard the quality.

Had great experience with the sousbox. Especially recommended for a romantic successful home evening with the two of you. Candles on, music in the background and in turn, or cozy together, making the dishes and eating. Nice wine. Delicious no hurry, and top quality eat. What else do you want? What weakened love blooms again. An absolute must!
Sous is actually a culinary experience at home! Whether you want to dine extensively (while the children are in bed and you don't have to arrange a babysitter) or if you want to put a whole table full of tasty snacks in no time, because with Sous everyone can do it! It starts with the good service at the door, to the handwritten card that you receive during the holidays. And don't forget the tasty food of course;) This means that we have been a customer of Sous for years and we hope to be able to enjoy this for a long time.
Ordered a box for the second time and enjoyed it again! The delivery is super, very well packaged and what delicious dishes! It is already a party to draw up the signs according to the supplied guidelines. And then to have a star meal in your own house. We will do this much more often, a big 10!
So easy. Delicious food without worries. With Christmas, no shopping lists, not in line in the stores, no stress in the kitchen. Pure luxury. If you are (already a bit older) opposite to invite people, just order a delicious meal at Sous, then you can also enjoy the food and the fun. Several times, ordered different meals and every time it was perfect!
We had much to celebrate with our family. Above all, life; After a nasty disease that has left my body. And the happiness of a brand new bridal couple whose wedding we had missed because I am not allowed to fly after an operation. The World of Streetfood combines perfectly with the vegetarian variant. We sat at the table with each other a wonderful afternoon. The dishes were put together by changing chefs. It was a relaxed and delicious experience.

“A delightful experience, enjoyed an exquisite meal. Neatly packaged, clearly described what you need to do to REALLY enjoy it. What a wonderful formula!”
“We ordered sous for our anniversary dinner. Since we have two children under three, it is not always possible to arrange a good night out. This way we could enjoy fine cuisine at home while the two little troublemakers slept peacefully. Delivery was smooth, preparation was easy, and tasting was ecstatic!”
“Perfect, every box is unique. We ordered for the first time during the pandemic and many times since then. Also, quite a few times as a gift for my friends—a perfect surprise on their doorstep! The refrigerated delivery service is the best! Would recommend 100%”
“Besides the great concept, diverse choice, and outstanding performance, communicating with sous was next level. Customer experience first. Very, very happy, and before I forget, the food is delicious!”
“Both boxes (Ron's Rames and Thai Boat) complemented each other perfectly in terms of flavors and presentation! We'll definitely be doing this again!”
“Delicious menu! Tasty and easy to prepare. You have to provide a nice ambiance yourself (nice plates, candles, music). If you create this romantic setting it will be a true 'night out'. Of course you have to go into the kitchen yourself to do the minimum of preparation, but it is also nice that you can make these beautiful creations on the plate yourself. Recommended!”
“The menu selection and delivery went very smoothly! A great way to have a lovely dinner at home with your guests, without being in the kitchen all the time. So all the time for catching up and enjoying great amazing food. Definitely something to do more often and try out the various restaurants.”
“I received this Surprise Restaurant Dinner meal prepared by Ron, the day before my birthday, from my sister-in-law who lives in Spain. I say Surprise Restaurant Dinner, because that's the ultimate experience I got after I unpacked the box, heated it according to the simple instructions and then enjoyed it with my husband of 48 years. The guy who had delivered it had given me a warm smile and said: enjoy it. ”
“We are huge fans of sous; as date nights out of the house with a baby aren't always that easy, we often have date nights at home with a sous box. This last time we had the Dijk 9 Autumn Menu, and of all the sous boxes we've ordered over the past few years, this was absolutely the best!”
“The information on the site matches reality. Ordering is simple. Delivery is easy to track online and always on time. And the quality of the food is always a reason to be happy. For us, there's no need to get in the car and drive to a restaurant anymore. And nobody has to be the designated driver anymore.”
“It was delicious. Both the Indonesian rice table and the Chinese shared dining meat dishes were tasty. In December, we're going for the Dick Middelweerd menu. I think this is a great formula. I'm going to use it more often.”
