Reviews: 93Points Gilbert and Gaillard

The artist walked out of his usual restaurant in town where hehad been joking and arguing, bragging and lamenting with friends. But now, helonged for his refuge and respite. The place with the protruding rocks, redsands and nebulous light – hidden just above the famed vineyard. Only here washis mind cleared of all small things.

Tasting Notes:
A good example of this noble variety with concentrated fruit, bold structureand the ability to age well. Intense black cherry colour with a full bouquet ofcassis, black berries, cigar box, pencil shavings and subtle oak and a hint ofmint to ensure freshness. The palate has density and concentrated flavours ofdark fruit with elegant tannins to create a well-balanced wine with a longfinish.

VintageConditions:

Although very dry, the ripening season leading up to the 2018harvest provided excellent conditions for optimal ripeness and flavourdevelopment that resulted in exceptional fruit concentration and elegance inthe wines of this vintage.

Fermentation andAgeing:

This wine was fermented in open tanks with pump overs and punchdowns being performed four times daily to extract all possible flavours fromthe berries. After alcoholic fermentation the wines underwent malolacticfermentation in barrel followed by 18 months ageing in 30% new French oakbarrels.

Food Pairing:
Best with beef, lamb and game dishes.
