Production Details Younger vines ripened about two weeks before the old vines and were picked and vinified separately. After whole-bunch pressing, the juice settled for about 12 hours and the turbid juice was transferred to old foudres the next morning. The wine remained on fermentation lees in foudre for 12 months. About two weeks before bottling it was moved to a blending tank and approximately 50 mg/L sulfur was added for bottling protection; it was bottled from the lees, unfiltered.
Tasting Notes Tropical fruit, passion fruit, pear skin, green apple and lime; extroverted aroma followed by a more restrained palate, with a substantial tannin-acidity structure, texture, density, power and length
