Perrin Family Wines Available to Buy in Australia

La Vieille Ferme, which roughly translates as ‘The Old Farm’, is a quirky, down-to-earth brand proudly owned and run by the Perrin family. La Vieille Ferme produces red, white and rosé wines annually and distributes them over to our wine shop here in Sydney, Australia. As La Vieille Ferme says, ‘just let sip my chicken wine in peace’. If you know a chicken fancier who enjoys wine, this brand is sure to be a five-star gift. In fact, I don’t know any chicken people who don’t enjoy a nice drop of wine on a sunny Sunday afternoon out in the backyard with the ‘girls’.

 

La Vieille Ferme (The Old Farm) from Famille Perrin

La Vieille Ferme has been the darling of wine enthusiasts for 40 years(*1).

Hailing from the sunny and serene Rhône Valley in the South of France, La Vieille Ferme’s reds and rosés offer grace and structure. The vineyard boasts a magical combination of Mediterranean climate that is cooled as the alpine winds whistle through the valley(*2). La Vieille Ferme is a brand of incredible value for money, crafted with love by the fine winemakers of the Perrin family, and owners of Château de Beaucastel(*2,3). This ‘chicken wine’ is a humble offering from a premium winemaker. It is the go-to for casual gatherings with friends while also standing on its own at celebrations and special events.

Ventoux (Cotes du Ventoux) Southern Rhône Wine Appellation

La Vieille Ferme Rose and Red 2023, Cotes du Ventoux, Perrin Family Winery

Bordering Provence is where you will find the Ventoux wine region in southern Rhône. Hugged by the alpine Mount Ventoux, the often under-estimated valley has produced exquisite reds, whites and roses for decades.

The region is also well known for farming diversity, with copious plantings of apricot, cherry and olive trees, lavender and wheat(*4). The high altitude of the neighbouring Mount Ventoux keeps the vines cool and increases the ripening period. While nearby regions carefully navigate rises in temperature, the cool whistle of the snowy top of Ventoux Mountain protects vineyards on its slope and below(*4).
