Please note, orders are processed on a first come basis. If you leave the wine in your cart for even a few minutes it might have already sold out as our stock quantity is removed when you submit the order in final, not when you add it to your cart!

You will get two emails from us with regards to your order. The first email from us only confirms that we received your order. The second email will confirm that we have enough wine to fill your order. Due to the high volume of sales there are times when the wine has sold out, but our system is still updating and shows it as available. We're sorry for any inconvenience and will do what we can to fill your order!

Thanks to your feedback we might bring back some of Cinderella Wine's popular previous offers. If a wine makes another appearance here, this newer offer will always be slightly higher than the original one. Offers that are on the site on Friday through Sunday will be shipped on Monday.

"The Tardy family has been growing grapes in the Beaumont-Monteux sector of Crozes Hermitage for over 150 years. Luc Tardy was the first in his family to make wine from their grapes when he built his winery in 1998. He continues to sell the majority of his grapes while keeping the harvest from the best parcels. This amounts to a total of 14 hectares of Syrah and 1 hectare of white. These prized parcels are located on a plateau of Rhone river pebbles and gravel at an altitude of 120 meters.

Luc is a meticulous farmer who employs many organic viticultural techniques to lower yields and minimize pests. No chemicals are used. He performs rigorous de-budding down to just 3 buds on two shoots per vine as well as green harvesting. Every other row is plowed by hand and the alternate rows grow cover of weeds and herbs to promote root depth and beneficial microbial activity. All harvesting is done by hand into small 20kg trays.

Grapes are partially de-stemmed (60-70%) and given a cold soak at 10 degrees C for 7 days. Vinification takes place in cement tanks with natural yeasts for 21 days with twice daily pump-overs. Press wine is always sold to the bulk market and never makes it into the final blend which is racked into 2,3 and 4 year old barrels for a minimum of 10 months. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered." - Importer
