Maxine Magnon Rozeta Corbieres 2016

Description

Sheep graze throughout vineyards to control weeds and provide manure to fertilize vines, certified organic, but also incorporates biodynamic practices, vines all planted in gobelet style, farms area of Hautes Corbières, a sub-appellation within A.O.C. Corbières that borders Fitou, and sits at a higher elevation with very rocky terrain, vinifies using whole cluster fermentation, no sulfur used during vinification. Grapes from field blend are picked and fermented together, ages wine in previously used Burgundian barrels from a producer in Chassagne-Montrachet. The Rozeta features the exuberant, inviting perfume and velvety wild fruit we expect from a wine that underwent 100% whole-cluster fermentation, then finishes with a crunchy backbone reminiscent of dark schist and roasted spices. -Importer
