Château Fontarèche Vieilles Vignes Rouge Magnum Triple

Château Fontarèche Vieilles Vignes Rouge Magnum TripleThe Vieilles Vignes, a blend of the oldest Carignan, Syrah and Mourvdre vines on the estate, represents outstanding value. The Carignan, sourced from a plot planted in 1962, is hand picked in whole bunches and undergoes semi carbonic maceration to soften the tannins, while the Syrah and Mourvdre are destemmed before being fermented and aged in stainless steel. The result is an inky, fragrant wine defined by pure blackberry fruit and a fresh herbal

The pressed grapes were fermented in stainless-steel tanks at relatively cool temperatures of 17-21oC in order to preserve the purity and aromatics of the fruit
