Alain de Welle is the owner and manager of Pinchinat, and it’s his vision that is expressed in each glass of his wine. Although his family has farmed this vineyard for over two centuries (and the land farmed back to prehistory), his father broke from tradition and raised him in the nearby city of Aix. Alain returned to his family’s roots, (pun intended) and here makes honest, modest wines that speak truths.
Serving Suggestions: Marinated lamb or venison kabobs. Charcoal-grilled ribeye w/ rosemary smoke, black pepper, & sea salt. Grilled mushroom veggie burgers stuffed w/ Parmesan.
