WINEMAKING

Harvest: Handpicked in crates at optimal ripeness.

Winemaking: Part of the Grenaches grapes are vinified using carbonic maceration (whole bunch fermentation). The Syrahs and Carignans are vinified according to traditional methods (stemmed grapes…) with regular rack and return and pumping over. Malolactic fermentation in vats.

Ageing: Each variety is aged separately in French new oak "Radoux" barrels for 12 months and is regularly racked (once every three months) before being blended.

TASTING NOTES:

Attractive red cherry colour.

Concentrated nose of red fruits, fresh fig and herbs of the ‘garrigue’ and black pepper.

In the background one can taste some smokiness and notes of liquorice.

The attack is silky and very rounded. Good structure with liquorice flavoured tannins.

Good characteritic aromatics and jammy notes.
