Grenache Noir - Syrah
Grapes: Grenache Noir (95%) Syrah (5%). Grenache from 60-year old vines on clay-limestone soils from Langlade in the Gard department. Syrah from 20-year old vines on clay-limestone and sandy marl soils from Lourmarin in the Luberon.
Vinification: Fermentation apart. Grenache in fibreglass tanks for 12 days’ maceration - half de-stemmed and half whole bunch in the millefeuille style, then pressed and moved to three-year-old barrels and fibreglass tanks for ageing. Syrah also in fibreglass tanks but eight days of maceration, all de-stemmed. Once pressed and MF begins, Syrah is blended with Grenache in fibreglass tank during December 2023, then aged in the same tanks until just before bottling when the tank and barrel are blended.
Bottled: Jun. 2024 Fining: No Filtering: No Added SO2: 15ppm Production: 130 cases ABV: 12.5%
