Mas Llossanes - Au Dolmen, Côtes Catalanes, France (2019)
TASTING NOTES
A natty feeling wine with its buzzing acidity and tension between crunchy fruit, rustic tannins and a smoother core. Aromas of red berries, violets, garrigue and rusty iron. This ends with a surprisingly fresh finish.

After two to three days of cold maceration, 2 weeks of spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts follow. The extraction of the coloring matter and tannins is managed by frequent but delicate pumping over. After racking, the wine from each plot will be aged separately from the others in vats or barrels of 2 wines. The assembly and bottling are done after 18 months of aging in stainless steel vats and in barrels.
Dominique and Solenn come from the East of France. The Château Giscours group entrusted them with the management of its Caiarossa property in Tuscany in the 2000s.
