Fresh in nature with intense aromas of white blossom and tropical fruits. Light-bodied with a fresh palate of stone fruits and tropical flavors ending in a mouthwatering finish. Easy drinking and pleasant, enjoy by the glass, or try pairing with fish and salads.
A blend of Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. On the nose, there are notes of dark cherry, spices and earthy tones. The palate is balanced and silky with a fruit-forward finish.
All grapes are hand harvested at Moulin de Tricot. A strict triage is done in the vineyard so that only healthy, ripe grapes are selected and sent to the chai for vinification. The grapes are destemmed before being crushed and racked into the tanks for fermentation. Bruno Rey vinifies his wines with traditional methods using modern equipment. He has chosen to use stainless steel tanks for fermentation as they allow him to control the temperature more precisely, when necessary. After fermentation, the wine is pressed and then returned to the stainless steel tanks for the malolactic fermentation (ML). Following the malolactic, the wine is then racked into small barrels, none of which are new (a portion of the wine is aged in 1 year old oak with the remainder of the barrels being older). An egg-white fining is the only other treatment the wine receives prior to being blended for final bottling.
Light, slightly earthy bouquet; medium-bodied with supple ripe tannins; rich palate of fresh dark fruits. An immediate pleasure, this wine is ready to drink now.
