Tasting Notes / Food Pairing & Cellaring

On the Nose: Aromas of ripe red fruits, peppery spice, and a hint of earthy minerality, evoking the Mediterranean landscape of southern France.

On the Palate: Full-bodied with layers of dark fruit, subtle herbal notes, and soft tannins that lead to a smooth, long finish. Its complexity is rounded by the cool climate influences of the terroir.

Pairing & Cellaring: Pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. This wine has long-term cellaring potential, ideal for aging 5 to 10 years to further develop its depth and complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is carbonic maceration, and how does it enhance the wine?

Carbonic maceration is a fermentation method where whole grape bunches are placed in a sealed tank filled with carbon dioxide.

This process creates a vibrant, fruity character with softer tannins.

Why is a 30-day maceration important?

A longer maceration, like the 30 days used, allows more time for flavours, tannins, and colour to be extracted from the grape skins.

This results in wines with greater depth, structure, and complexity.

How does aging in concrete tanks benefit the wine?

Concrete tanks provide a neutral environment that preserves the purity of the fruit.

Their slightly porous nature allows for gentle oxygen exchange, which helps develop the wine’s texture and complexity without masking its natural flavours.
