A BETTER WINTER AFTER THREE DRY WINTERS DIDN’T PREVENT A TINY CROP AND GRADUAL RIPENING. TINY BERRIES ALLOWED THE PRODUCTION OF WINES WITH HIGHLY CONCENTRATED VARIETAL CHARACTER.
VINIFICATION
GRAPES WERE HAND HARVESTED EARLY VERY LIGHTLY PRESSED. FIRST FERMENTATION WAS STAINLESS STEEL TANKS AT 14 – 15 °C. THEN IT WAS INOCULATED FOR SECOND FERMENTATION IN THE BOTTLE. AFTER 2 YEARS AND 8 MONTHS, IT WAS DEGORGED AND MATURED FOR FURTHER 3 MONTHS UNDER CORK.
TASTING NOTES
THIS LIGHTLY COLOURED MCC SHOWS NOTES OF RED BERRIES WITH AN ADDITIONAL WELCOMING QUINCE THAT ADDS TO THE COMPLEXITY. IT SPENT 2 YEARS AND 8 MONTHS IN THE BOTTLE ON THE LEES AFTER 2ND FERMENTATION. THIS BRINGS A CREAMINESS, ALTHOUGH THE STRUCTURE STILL SUPPORTS THE CRISPNESS. IT CAN BE ENJOYED ON ITS OWN OR WITH WITH RED BERRY DESSERTS.
