Tasting notes
Bright cherry color.
Elegant bouquet with ripe black fruit
expression, wild herbs, graffiti, balsamic
and cocoa notes, all surrounded by the minerality
of its slate terroir.
On the palate, silky and enveloping
beginning, with fleshy sensations and round tannins
and lively acidity which brings freshness to its silky step
by the palate.
Identity of Carignan and its minerality soils,
leaving a long sweet ending.
We combine the processing
techniques punching down
(pigeage) and pump over to
extract the great personality of
their grapes.
Long maceration and pressing
at very low pressure. Aged for
16 months in French oak barrels,
stirring the lees (bâtonnage) and
malolactic fermentation in them
that will qualify harmonically its
aromatic expression.
Bottled without fining or filtering.
