Harvest at optimum ripeness. The wine is stored in vats immediately in order to preserve aromas. The fermentation on skins lasts 3 weeks for an optimal extraction. The temperatures are strictly controlled (28°C maximum). The wine is racked off and undergoes malolactic fermentation. Then it is placed in vats during 12 months before bottling. Ageing in bottle for 6 months.
Vegan Friendly.
Note de dégustation:
Brilliant color with purple highlights. Rich nose with aromas of cherry, olive and "garrigue". Elegant and silky palate with fruity notes and delicate tannins. A subtly spicy finish.
Service & accords:
It will pair nicely with polenta with ceps or even a leg of lamb with "provençal" herbs. Enjoy it now and over the next 7 years.
