CASE PRODUCTION: 220

TASTING NOTES

Meaty and savory, with aromas of raspberry compote, vanilla, cinnamon, and white pepper, followed by a round mouthfeel, chewy ripe black fruits, and a lingering finish.

WINEMAKING

The grapes, some of them whole cluster, were hand sorted and destemmed into one-ton bins before a three-day cold soak and inoculation with various yeast strains. Fermentation saw hand punch-downs and pressing just before dryness, after which the wine was inoculated for malolactic fermentation before going to barrels to finish, with ageing on the lees for six to eight months before blending.
