WINEMAKING

SEASON: a long, dry and moderate summer allowed us to make all harvest decisions purely on berry ripeness. Therefore the resulting wine has a wonderful freshness and vibrancy.

WINEMAKING: a hand-picked whole bunch component was spread over the base of the open fermenter before putting the destemmed portion on top. Cool fermentation with pumpovers for 10 days before pressing and immediate transfer on solids to seasoned French oak.

MATURATION: the last throws of fermentation and malolactic fermentation were on lees in oak followed by further maturation in seasoned French oak. 7 months total time in oak.

WINE DETAILS

STYLE: spicy and juicy with a serious note

AROMA: vibrant spiced plums and ever-present musk

PALATE: sweetness of popping raspberry tart balanced with savoury texture, a velvety tannin profile punctuated with musk and just a hint of fresh oak

FOOD: hard to go past a rare beef fillet or enjoy with a hard cheese such as Mimolette
