Production Details The cellar used cold pre-fermentation maceration and shorter, gentler maceration to retain fresh fruit and avoid extracting harsh tannins. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled concrete vats with gentle pumping-over. After maceration, 80% is transferred to one-wine-old French oak barrels and 20% to vats for malolactic fermentation and maturation of about 16 months. West-facing berries were picked first for ripeness, followed by east-facing berries for fresher fruit; Cabernet was deliberately harvested early, and intra-plot selection was used. The finished-wine technical section reports total acidity of 2.5 g/L but does not specify its analytical acid-equivalent basis.
Tasting Notes Charming and lively; juicy palate; ripe fruit; fine tannins; elegant spicy structure
