Description
A blend of Grenache Gris, Vermentino and Roussanne, with a short stint in oak barrels. Situated on slopes leading down to the Mediterranean, the vines benefit all year round from cool sea breezes. The schist continually offers warmth to the base of the vines. The combination of these two factors ensures that the grapes ripen slowly but surely, all the while preventing them from over ripening. 'Tremadoc is made from a blend of the estates parcels. The harvest takes place in the morning to limit the oxidation of the must. The fermentation takes place in barrels at a low temperature. A regular stirring of the wines on lees during the maturation period, adds richness to the wine. The malolactic fermentation is blocked, in order for the wine to keep its fresh characteristics. 7-8 months in barrel, 10% new.
Tasting note
Golden color, acacia nose developing honey on the palate. This wines vivacity balances extremely well with its roundness.
