Forty percent of the wine underwent whole-bunch fermentation in open-top
concrete tanks. The remaining portion was sorted and fermented in a
combination of stainless steel and concrete tanks with gentle pump-overs.
After pressing, the wine completed its malolactic fermentation in concrete
tanks before being transferred into barrels. Over a 14-month barrel aging
period, during which the wine was racked twice, the final blend was
composed of 20% new French oak, 45% 2nd–4th fill barrels, and 30% foudres.
Ideal with sumptuous roast venison, aged fillet and rump steaks, spicy
sausages, or even a confit of duck, this wine invites you to a whimsical
culinary adventure.
