TASTING NOTES
Appearance: Deep ruby red color.
Nose: Very earthy, mineral aromas with notes of black sweet cherry, dried raisins, tobacco and pure cocoa, with a hint of leather and freshly ground pepper.
Palate: Soft structured tannins, with a crisp and balanced acidity. Liquorice and a recurrence of cocoa notes. Very long and clean aftertaste.
Serving temperature: 16-18oC
Conservation / Cellaring potential: La Renaissance 2011 is at an optimum consumption time, but it will continue to evolve favorably for many years.
Food pairings: Decant it to enjoy with roast meats in winter or lightly chilled on a fresh summer evening.
WINEMAKING
Grapes are selected and destemmed before beginning maceration. Natural fermentation (with no yeast added) takes place during a period of 3-4 weeks in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 22-25oC. When alcoholic fermentation is finished, the wine is pressed and stored until malolactic fermentation is complete. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for 24 months, separated by varietal. Blends are selected using the clean finished wine. Bottle aging: 36+ months.
