Domaine Bernard Gripa is located in Mauves, in the northern Rhône Valley . The estate was founded in 1974 and has been run since 2001 by his son Fabrice Gripa . It produces wines in the Saint-Péray and Saint-Joseph appellations. The vineyard covers just under 20 hectares on granite and limestone soils. The estate is managed with respect for the environment and the promotion of the terroir. In the cellar, it mainly uses 228-liter Burgundy barrels or 600-liter casks. The wines are aged in wood for between 8 and 12 months depending on the vintage.
The Parady cuvée is made from Syrah , grown in the place called Le Paradis, whose soil is made of Tournon Granite. The harvest is destemmed, and part is kept in whole bunches (10%). Alcoholic fermentation is carried out in open vats, with indigenous yeasts. Two daily pumping overs or punching downs are carried out during the maceration, which lasts around 3 weeks. The wine is transferred to oak barrels for 2 years of aging.
