Minervois Rouge

France
Languedoc
2022

50% Carignan/40% Syrah/10% Grenache. This bottling comes the older vines of the estate, with some of the Carignan being up to 100 years old. The vines are planted on Minervois hillsides of clay soils rich in limestone. They are sustainably farmed and harvested partly by hand and partly by machine. The varieties are vinified separately, fully destemmed, with the Syrah going through a shorter maceration versus up to a month for the Carignan and Grenache. Fermentation is with selected yeasts in concrete vats; aging takes place in vat as well. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration and very little sulfur.
