The Grenache completes alcoholic fermentation in the stainless-steel tanks before being racked to barrel. Full malolactic fermentation is completed in tanks. Maturation, 14 months in old (40+ years) 4,000l foudre.
Deeply coloured, suggesting good extraction and concentration of flavour. Cocoa, strawberry and exotic spice aromas are matched by a palate rich in flavour and fine, chalky tannins. Bright acidity provides refreshing length, and ensures a light, focused finish.
