Six parts Grenache and four of Syrah, for over half a century, Parrallele 45 has been assembled from a coterie of Paul Jaboulet vineyards across the greater Cotes du Rhone. Named after the latitude which is closest to the cellars of Maison Paul Jaboulet Aine, Parrallele 45 is a wine of exceptional freshness, aromatic richness and fleshiness of palate. An articulation of the salubrious aspects, vigorous climes and remarkable soils, which combine to form one of the old world's most ancient winegrowing regions.

Paul Jaboulet's Cotes du Rhone vineyards are holistically managed to a timeless viticulture, artificial pesticides and fertilizers are strictly avoided. Careful work is carried out to ventilate the grapes by thinning out bunches and leaves, for optimal exposure to the sun and to ensure that vines remain in perfect health. Each block of vine is selectively picked according to a timetable dictated by complete ripeness. Harvests of Grenache and Syrah are sourced off mature vines averaging twenty five years of age, planted to a mixture of shingle clay, stony argillaceous and limestone pebble soil. Fruit is treated to a traditional vinification and course of extended macerations in temperature controlled fermenters.
