Location
France
GRAPE VARIETY
Cabernet Sauvignon
VITICULTURE
Hand tending, careful selection, and minimal interference in the natural ripening of the grapes.
WINEMAKING
De-stalking and crushing of the grapes – alcoholic fermentation in vats with rack and return twice a day (temperature carefully controlled to reach 27°C / 81°F at the end of the fermentation) – micro oxygenation before malolactic fermentation to enhance the color and to smooth the tannins.
TASTING NOTES
Deep garnet red color. The nose is expressive and fruit-driven, notes of spices and herbs deliver complexity. Lively and rounding palate. Velvety tannins and bright fruitiness give length to a vanilla and licorice finish.
PAIRING
Grilled red meat, pasta, spicy dishes, or cheese. Best served between 16°C and 18°C / 60°F and 65°F.
