Production Details Hand-harvested and completely destemmed. Fermentation with native yeasts takes place in unclad rough concrete tanks, rising gradually to 30–32°C. Vatting lasts 4–5 weeks, with early pumping over, some cap punching, then passive infusion and lees stirring during the final 3 weeks. After run-off, the wine undergoes 24–48 hours of sedimentation; malolactic fermentation occurs in barrel. Maturation is split equally between 228-litre pièces and 600-litre demi-muids, with 20–25% new vessels, followed by racking at the end of winter and 12–18 months of ageing. The stated ageing potential is 20–30 years.
Tasting Notes Deep crimson with carmine tints; floral aromas, red fruit, spice and tapenade; fresh entry, dynamic silky tannins, sweet spices and cedar on the finish
