This Tannat wine is from several parcels that total 7.5 acres—one parcel of roughly two acres is around 150 years old and the others are at least 55 years old--are hand harvested, and are certified organic. The soil is France’s classic mix of clay and limestone. With spontaneous ferments with native yeast with destemmed grapes, the wine is aged for one year in barrel, one-fourth to one-third of which is new. It is unfiltered with only a light fining at bottling and minimal sulfur additions. 1,670 cases. Very dark, deep and dense and underlines the notion that Tannat is a study in density. Give this Tannat several hours of aeration for it to bloom.
