Food Matching Note:
Ideally with spicy meat and fish dishes, matured cheeses and game.
Tasting Note:
Mature, gamey nose, almost Pinot in style but the palate a bit hollow after such excitement. Delicate violet notes on the nose followed by attractive, violet fruit. Delicately made. Toffee smells on the nose and a pleasant palate with slightly ageing fruit and interesting flavour of mushroom on the finish. Complex, deep and delicious blend of tarry blackcurrant fruit with underlying richness of dried fig.
Vinification Note:
Fermentation takes place on the lees at a controlled temperature between 25°and 28° with frequent periodic remontage. After malolactic fermentation, maturation takes place in resin coated vats. The wine refines in bottles for few months before release.
