Production Details Destemmed whole berries were fermented with mixed-culture yeasts at 22–28°C, plunged twice daily, and aerated to rumble the cap during peak fermentation. After 10 days on skins, the wine was pressed into a mixture of new and one-to-two-year-old French oak hogsheads. The two vineyard batches remained separate through 18 months of barrel maturation, after which individual barrels were selected for the final blend. The producer also reports “TA 6.6” without stating a unit or analytical basis, so it cannot safely populate total_acidity_gl.
Tasting Notes Mulberry, blackberry, redcurrant, black cherry, savoury oak, bitter chocolate, roasted sweet spices, dried herbs, roasted almonds, toasted nuts, balanced acidity and powdery tannins
