Oak Types François Frères French oak barrels
Production Details Fermented in 5-ton open-top fermenters with punch-downs once or twice daily, pressed at complete dryness, and transferred to barrel with moderate lees. The cooperage panel lists 24 months in François Frères French oak barrels and 50% new oak, while the narrative qualifies the maturation as almost 24 months and about 50% new; no exact aging-days value is therefore proposed. The sheet displays residual sugar as “<0” without a unit, so that entry is not normalized as residual_sugar_gl.
Tasting Notes Cranberry, cherry, rose petal, red and black berries, spice, licorice, cola and sagebrush; well-structured, balanced, deeply colored, round and plush
Food Pairing Roast lamb, pork or duck, or porcini risotto
