Description
WINEMAKING : At harvest the grapes are handpicked and the first 15% of the grapes are whole bunch selected by hand and fermented in concrete fermenters. The remaining component is destemmed and fermented in open oak fermenters. After malolactic fermentation the wine is matured for 16 months in 225ℓ s French oak barrels with 25% new oak.
TASTING NOTE : The bouquet is complex with scents recalling wild berries, spice, sour cherries and violets. On the palate the wine shows a medium body with fruit flavours and elegant tannins, leading to a long finish.
