Selective manual harvest of immaculate grapes. Back at the winery, the fruit is placed in shallow wooden trays and left to dry out for 4 months in special drying chambers. During this storage period, close monitoring is necessary to ensure the right temperature and humidity level. Afterwards, the vinification process begins with a cold maceration ('cold soak') for five days to extract aromas and flavours. The wine spends 24 months in French oak barrels in order to mature and undergo malolactic fermentation. It is then aged in bottle for a further 12 months before being released for sale.
Deep ruby. Characteristic nose of dried fruit, plum and forest fruit, with a fine sweet and savoury note. Beautiful, delicate sweetness on entry, complemented by velvety tannins. A juicy, vibrant structure and a reprise of the same flavours that were on the nose help to give a long, refreshing finish.
Sourced from plots situated 100 to 350 metres above sea level, where a combination of limestone, loam, and clay marl results in consistently high-quality crops.
