First Glance: Perfumed, Dark Fruits, Earthy Spice, Fresh
The Wine:
Powerful and aromatic, with developed fruit characters on the nose and balanced,
integrated tannins on the palate. The carignan provides a depth of dark, stewed fruits and leans into tertiary and developed flavour profiles while the Grenache breathes life, and offers a nice acid brightness to boot. An incredibly lively wine with fruit, acid and body tied up in a neat little package.
Hand-harvested Carignan (75%) was destemmed and co-fermented with hard- harvested whole bunch Grenache (25%) in an open top fermenter. Gentle pigeage took place twice daily for 14 days before being pressed to barrel for elevage.
