Tasting Notes
Dense ruby red in appearance. Intense blackberry and cherry aromas on the nose, rounded by notes of cocoa. Full of fruit flavours on the palate with silky tannins.
Food Matches
An ideal accompaniment to barbecued meats, grilled vegetables and dark chocolate
Vinification
The grapes are harvested and are left to macerate in stainless steel tanks. For this Grenache, the fermentation and maceration process are particularly long, as they can last up to 21 days at a controlled temperature of 26°C. The juices are pumped over twice a day, extracting the best aromatic components of the grapes. This technique called "délestage" in French, gives the juice its intense colour and reduced the bitterness of the tannins.
