Information about "Keermont Amphitheatre 2018"
With a brilliant, deep purple hue, the Keermont Amphitheatre 2018 reveals an enticing bouquet of ripe strawberry, baked desserts, delicate vanilla, and sweet citrus blossom—a true feast for the senses! On the palate, this highly regarded, classic Bordeaux-style Cuvée, augmented by Shiraz and Mourvèdre, presents a taut tannin structure and a delicious array of flavors, from ripe plums and aromatic berries to fine herbal notes and subtle oak nuances. The finish is extraordinarily long and juicy, tinged with lingering cherry notes and gripping tannins.
This vintage spent five years in bottle within the Keermont cellar before its release to ensure integration and maturation, with a mere 3,685 bottles produced.
The grapes for the Amphitheatre were handpicked at optimal ripeness and vinified separately. Fermentation occurred gently and naturally in open fermenters using traditional methods. After fermentation, the wines were blended, and the cuvée aged for 29 months in a mix of first, second, and third-fill French oak barrels before being bottled without filtration. Prior to release, the wine spent an additional five years in bottle in the Keermont cellar to ensure perfect integration and maturity.
