The freshness and richness of a Rhône Valley red wine
The property
Located south of the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the Rhône Valley, the Isabel Ferrando Family estate was until 2020 named Domaine Saint Préfert.
Established in 1920, Domaine Saint Préfert has been taken over since 2003 by Isabel Ferrando. Passionate about her terroir, this former senior executive in banking turned winemaker notably carries out a rigorous mass selection of the estate's grape varieties.
In 2019 Isabel Ferrando stopped the production of her three existing cuvées to return to a single blend wine in red and white, then renamed the estate in 2020 as Famille Isabel Ferrando.
Coming from a vineyard conducted in organic and biodynamic agriculture, the exceptional wines of this Rhône Valley estate are recognized by many international critics for their power and their remarkable natural acidities.
The vineyard
Colombis from the Isabel Ferrando Family is a Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine from three illustrious fresh terroirs located north of the appellation: Colombis (sands and limestones), Cristia and Rayas (safres and sand) and Les Roues (clays and rolled granitic pebbles), all composed of old Grenache vines.
Produced in limited quantities, this cuvée seduces with its finesse, freshness and vivacity.
Vinification and aging
Vinification and aging are carried out in two-wine vats as well as in amphorae.
Grape variety
Grenache (100%) aged 80 years.

Palate
The lively and refreshing attack opens onto a tight structure, revealing a rich and complex aromatic palette. Notes of cherry and raspberry intertwine with touches of dark chocolate, licorice and tobacco, enhanced by tannins of great finesse.
