Madiran

Varietal: 100% Tannat

Wine Making: Hand harvesting. Cold pre-fermentation maceration (10 to 12°C) for five days in wooden tanks. Long maceration for 30 days. Vinification at 25°C. Extraction by crushing and pumping over.  Aging in oak tuns and barrels (12-15 months). Bottling after aging for 20 months.

Tasting Notes :

Color – Deep, intense ruby red.

Nose – Fine, elegant and complex, with a blend of black fruit and coffee aromas.

Mouth – A very rich attack followed by a quite mature consistency and silky tannins. Fine, precise woody mouth aromas. An exceptional Madiran, powerful and complex, with unusual potential.

This wine can very easily be kept for 7 to 10 years.

Food Pairing: Serve at room temperature with game (pigeon stew, boar stew), duck breast, red meats (grilled rib goat cheeses of beef) or Pyrenees goat cheeses
