La Java des Grandes Esperances Rouge 2018

Grape variety :
Blend of Gamay 60% (light, soft fruity flavour), Malbec 20% (dark fruit, well-balanced) and Cabernet Franc 20% (robust, well-balanced).
The grapes come from mature vines picked during the last week of October.

Vinification/Maturing :
Cold maceration for 4 days before fermenting at around 20°C to extract the fruit, pumping over on a daily basis until it is semi-fermented. Post fermentation maceration for one week, with micro-oxygenation during the maturing process, enabling the wine to fully develop.

Tasting notes :
With a pretty ruby colour, La Java red from Grandes Espérances develops very fruity aromas of very ripe red fruit (strawberry, raspberry, etc) that, on the palate, blend with slightly spicy. A very delicious, smooth and well structured wine with nice smooth tannin.
