Description
Life is more interesting on the Fringe.
Ripe and juicy Gamay from the South West of France.
Plum and berry, with warm spices and lively acidity.
IGP Comte Tolosan.
Vineyards are located in the Adour and Garonne River basins, between the Atlantic Coast to the west and the Massif Central mountains to the east, with mainly alluvial soils.
The climate is predominantly maritime, with mild, fresh summers and cool, wet winters.
A small proportion of fruit is selected from vineyards further east that experiences a hotter, continental climate.
Picked at optimum ripeness to enhance the bright flavours but a balanced acidity.
The fruit is destemmed, sorted and transferred into open top fermenters for a period of cold maceration to extract colour and tannin for 12 days.
Temperatures remained controlled at 26°C.
The juice is drained off the skins and transferred to tank where malolactic fermentation took place.
Filtered and bottled.
The final alcohol is 14%.
