Details

AGEING: Immediately following malolactic fermentation in December, the wine is transferred into both new and used barrels. The wine is decanted once a year and after 24 months, is assembled in cement vats. Six months’ rest further stabilises the wine; bottling takes place in the summer. The wine is bottle-aged for another six months prior to going on sale.

PAIRINGS: Very firmly-structured wine, a good match for main dishes of red or braised meat and game in general.
An ideal companion to cheese.
