Brotte Cairanne Creation Grosset

A red wine from Domaine Grosset in Cairanne, made from Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Carignan. The grapes are hand-picked at optimal ripeness, then fermented at 28°C followed by about three weeks of maceration. The wine first ages in concrete tanks, then in 100-year-old large oak casks, before bottling after eight to nine months. It is intensely ruby red, with an intense, fruity aroma of fresh fruit and spice. The palate is full and spicy, with wild berries, prunes and hints of toast, fine tannins and a long, full finish. Serve at 16-17°C.
