Description
At harvest the grapes are handpicked and 70% will undergo berry-selection on sorting tables before the whole berries are fermented in concrete tanks for 2 weeks. 30% of the grapes are whole bunch fermented. The grapes are pressed and after malolactic fermentation the wine matures for 18 months in 225ℓ French oak barrels with 50% being new oak.
TASTING NOTE : Cherry, wild red berries, crushed black pepper on the nose. Although firm in structure and intense in flavour, textures are mellow and round, expanding with time to extraordinary opulence and length on the palate.
