Red wine is a type of wine made from dark-colored grape varieties. The actual color of the wine can range from intense violet, typical of young wines, through to brick red for mature wines and brown for older red wines. The juice from most purple grapes is greenish-white, the red color coming from anthocyan pigments (also called anthocyanins) present in the skin of the grape; exceptions are the relatively uncommon teinturier varieties, which produce a red-colored juice. Much of the red-wine production process therefore involves extraction of color and flavor components from the grape skin. It is a delicacy around the world.

Typical for the grape, this wine is very dark in color and heavy in the nose, but it doesn’t live up to this expectation. It actually drinks very pretty, almost light. The tannin level is very moderate given the way it looks and smells.
Varieties : Carignane. Vinification : Each of the two lots were fermented separately. The Lolonis was done in open-tops with about 40% whole cluster and the Martinson was done in closed tank and all destemmed. They were blended together post-malolactic and aged in four French oak puncheons for 10 months.
Pale red brick color. Very aromatic with notes of dried flowers, violets and anise. Full-bodied and dry, but elegant with plump red fruit balanced by chewy tannin and bright acidity.
Pair with braised meats, risotto with earthy tones such as porcini mushrooms and some of the more powerful cheeses such as blue cheese are all great options.
Serve at 64 degrees
