The fruit underwent a 48 hour cold soak prior to inoculation. The resulting wine then went through malolactic fermentation before aging in 15% new French oak for 15 months before bottling. The winemaker hand picked barrels to put together this blend.
Food Pairing Notes
Spicy complex stews. Moussaka, braised chicken or seasoned eggplant dishes.
