TASTING NOTES
Provençal sea-shell pink in hue, and in nature, with its finely cut layers of strawberries, cherries and watermelon that glow against a chiselled backdrop of saline, orange-toned acidity. The pure red fruit of grenache, cinsault and syrah is magnified from bunch-pressing, with a seam of lifting stemmy spice. Old oak ageing sculpts in just the right amount of weight to the mid-palate, drawing all that fruit to a bright and poised finish.
WINEMAKING
Careful bunch selection was carried out in the vineyard. The Grenache and Cinsault grapes were whole-bunch pressed, settled overnight and then allowed to ferment in 500 litre old French oak barrels. The Syrah portion was whole-bunch pressed and then transferred to steel tanks for fermentation in order to preserve freshness. The Cinsault and Grenache went through secondary fermentation for added aromatic complexity. This wine was partially matured in old oak barrels for 7 months, adding complexity and body.
