Brotte Creation Grosset Cairanne 2022

Alcohol: 13.5%

Grape(s): Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre

Location: Southern Rhone, France

Tasting Notes: Ruby with garnet reflections. The nose offers a combination of fresh fruits such as raspberry and redcurrant. Spicy notes of cinnamon and garrigue stand out. The wine will gain in suppleness over time, and in jammy aromas of raspberry and plum as well as undergrowth. The wine is generous and spicy with notes of wild strawberries, raspberries and redcurrants. Touches of toast and sweet spices add complexity. The mouth is full, and the finish is persistent.

Notes: Sustainable viticulture is the focus with de-budding, de-leafing and green harvest to limit the yield and increase the quality. Hand-picking is carried out in small cases for fast transportation to the winery to avoid crushing and oxidation. After de-stemming, gentle crushing, fermentation takes place at 28°C, followed by a 3 week maceration.
