Based in Tavel in the Rhône Valley, Château de Manissy created Gen Alpha as a contemporary Rhône wine emphasising freshness and accessibility. The cuvée is produced primarily from Grenache grown on clay and limestone soils surrounding the estate. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve aromatic purity, followed by brief maturation before bottling. The warm 2022 vintage delivered vibrant fruit balanced by lively acidity. Compared with the estate’s structured Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines, Gen Alpha shows a lighter and more immediate style, combining red berry fruit, floral notes and subtle spice with fresh finish. https://www.chateau-de-manissy.com/
