Varietal Composition: Grenache, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, & Cinsault
Elaboration: The vineyard soils are clay-limestone. The grapes undergo mechanical harvesting. Low temperature pressing, presses inerted. Low temperature fermentation in stainless steel vats. Aged in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats on fine lees to preserve fruit and freshness and add volume to the palate. To remove the alcohol content, the alcohol is extracted by vacuum distillation, i.e. evaporation at a maximum of 35-40°c, to not alter the wine and to preserve all its aromas.
Tasting Notes: Pale salmon color. A bouquet of aromas combining citrus fruit (grapefruit) and red fruit (strawberry and cherry). Round on the palate, pleasantly fruity and greedy.
