| Tasting note |
2006: Beautiful, very classic vintage with a heatwave in the month of July. Very great year for white wines - these are rich and opulent. Lovely vintage producing delicious red wines that are extremely enjoyables as of now.
The grapes are handpicked into small crates and the whole bunches are then pressed in a pneumatic winepress. The juice was cold settled after pressing for 12-14 hours under temperature-controlled conditions. Alcoholic fermentation and ageing take place 100% in oak barrels with bâtonnage (lees stirring). 100% malolactic fermentation Duration of ageing: 19 months.
Tasted in 2008 (after bottling) COLOUR: Greenish-gold with silver-grey highlights BOUQUET: Understated, exceptionally fine nose with hints of nuts and marzipan PALATE: Concentrated and powerful with flavours of candied citrus (lemon) and sweet spices Beautiful mineral aftertaste.
