Perdriel Vineyard Selection 2017
Complex aromas of ripe red fruit beautifully balanced with spicy notes. The palate is velvety and round with a long and harmonious finish.
Grapes for this wine come from a single vineyard situated at 950m above sea level, with vines aged between fifty and eighty years. Yields were kept very low, at four tonnes per hectare.
Cold maceration for five days at 8-10°C was followed by a seven day fermentation with native yeasts at a temperature of 28°C. The malolactic fermentation was 100% natural and the wine was aged for sixteen months in new French oak.
