Product Description:
This wine shows a deep plum colour. The nose is inviting with red currants and black cherry, combined with fine spice and vanilla. The palate is a layered mélange of black berry fruits, encased by soft, rich tannins. Notes of rosemary and olive tapenade lend a pleasant herbaceous freshness. As with all red Eagles’ Nest wines, there is a subtle pepper spice, which makes this wine unmistakable and proves its origin on a cool soil.

Vinifikation The vineyard sites range from northeast to northwest, on rugged mountain slopes. All grapes were harvested by hand, hand-sorted, crushed, and placed into medium-sized, open-top fermenters. Punch-downs and pump-overs were performed three to four times daily, practices determined by twice-daily tastings of the tanks. Fermentation lasted 9 days, after which the free-run wine was racked and transferred into first, second, and third-use barrels, where malolactic fermentation took place. Six different cooperages were used, each specifically chosen to complement the various nuances of this very complex wine. After 18 months in barrel, the best barrels were blended, lightly filtered, and bottled in February 2017.
