Winemaking & Storage :
The grapes were carefully hand-picked in the morning. After sorting and destemming the mash was cold macerated for 50 hours in stainless tanks. Fermentation then took place during about 10 days. Lean pressing after 3 weeks when the wine was poured into 225 l oak barrels, about 30 percent new. After malolactic fermentation, racking and fining bottling was done after 17 months in barrels.
The wine rested in the bottles for 8 months before labelling and release.
Alcohol: 15.5 %
Tasting notes :A burst of dark berries, sun-dried tomatoes, spicy herbs and pepper on the nose. Mellow, well rounded, with generous dark berries, prune and a hint of leather, combined with smoothly integrated tannins, on the palate. Appealing, lingering aftertaste. Uniquely Shiraz!
