Food Matching Note:
This elegant wine is best suited to accompany medium to light flavoured foods. It's good acidity makes it a perfect foil for rich or slightly fatty meats, such as duck or lamb. It's fruit character will compliment strongly aromatic mushrooms, such as in a mushroom and truffle risotto. Excellent to accompany a tuna steak dish or a mixed cheese selection.
Tasting Note:
Juicy, freshly crushed raspberries are found amongst some leafy, herby aromas on the nose. Offers crisp cherry and plum flavours, a medium to light body with some gentle tannin and a dry, complete finish.
Vinification Note:
Fermented using the traditional Burgundian method, in open vats with twice daily treading down and an extended maceration for optimal extraction. It is aged 100% in French barriques (25% of which are new) and on its lees for 7 months. The malo-lactic fermentation was completed in barrel before bottling without any fining or filtration.
