Comments of the cellarman
This Grés is a quite intense beautiful ruby red colour. Nose of ripe red fruits, blackcurrant and spice. In mouth, tannins are dense and silky.
Vinification
The juice of syrah is in contact with the skin during 4 weeks in order to develop the concentration. Grenache is harvested when the grapes are pushed in extreme maturity to extract fruity aromas. The temperature of fermentation is low to keep the aromas of the grape. The grape varieties are aged during 20 months in vat before the bottling.
