- Deep crimson, this harmonious blend shows delicate notes of violets and licorice enveloped in a nose full of vibrant red fruits. It is a powerful wine with beautiful structure and balance, which carry through to a velvety smooth texture on the long finish.
The grapes were harvested at night to retain the freshness, protect the aromas, prevent oxidation and avoid using sulphur. The cellars then turned into a sparkling clean, bustling scene of activity in which the harvest's 'wild' or natural yeasts were left to develop and spontaneously start the fermentation. The temperature during fermentation was maintained at 28°C for three weeks with regular pump-overs to encourage the maximum development of the fruit aromas. Traditional methods were used throughout to foster the fruit aromas and the outstanding terroir from which the grapes originate.

| Winery | Domaine des Carabiniers is certified organic and biodynamic by Ecocert and Demeter. The vines are grown in Pliocene sand and are surrounded by heat-reflecting pebbles. During the vine's dormant period, composted grape pomace is ploughed to improve the soil. Vigorous pruning takes place to select the fruiting canes. Protection of the vines is paramount, and the vines are closely monitored daily, considering the weather patterns, to reduce the risk of mildew. The vines are green and harvested to concentrate the flavours in the remaining berries. The harvest occurs once the grapes have reached the optimum level of maturity. |
