Vinification
A wine of great breeding and complexity, a blend of Grenache Noir, Syrah, Carignan and a little Mourvedre, all hand picked using the same family team year after year. Fermented on skins in tank with an extended maceration to capture the sweetness and ripe tannins - with a small proportion benefiting from some wood contact, as well as numerous pump-overs prior to blending together and ageing further in tank before filtration and bottling.
