An elegant wine which is fruit driven and supported by a hint of oak spice. The berry fruit flavours are complemented by grape derived spicyness. On the palate, the wine is naturally fresh with abundant soft tannins and good length. Perfect fit to Prosciutto, tapas meal or snails in garlic butter, as well as meat dishes, beef stew, tongue, marinated grilled chicken, smoked pork chops or boeuf bourguignon. Recommended maturation potential: 8 years. No competition entered yet.
55% Carignan, 45% Syrah.
Slate with a high clay content.
The annual rainfall is more than 700mm, so irrigation is not necessary. The prevailing winds also decrease the necessity to spray. The vineyards are well established being on average over 35 years old and have no problem to ripen the grapes to full ripeness.
The grapes were picked at phenolic ripeness.
The grapes were completely destalked but only partially crushed (25% whole berries were included). The fermentation proceeded at 22 degrees Celsius with regular pumpovers. Pressing ocurred before dryness and the heavy press juice was separated and withheld from the blend. The wine was racked to oak for malolactic fermentation and maturation, and the evolution was assisted by micro-oxygenation. R/S: 1.9 g/l.
