Production Details Each varietal was fermented with natural yeasts in concrete vats. Fermentation proceeded smoothly, with an average temperature between 27 and 29 degrees Celsius in concrete vats. After fermentation, the wine was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels before blending in February 2019 and bottled without fining or filtration during the summer months of July and August. The Cabernet quality was outstanding with great depth of fruit and concentration. Cinsault was elegant and silky with an explosion of aromas. Carignan showed its quality, benefiting from warm conditions sacrificing yield but gaining greater concentration.
