Product information "Lemberg Louis Red Blend 2017"
The classic Mediterranean grape varieties, typical for the regions of southern France, inspired the creation of the Lemberg Louis Red Blend. From an intense dark hue in the glass, this delicious cuvée releases beguiling aromas of dark fruit, exciting spices and subtle earthy notes. On the palate of uncommon complexity and fullness, delicious taste nuances of ripe fruit are presented, which are perfectly complemented and completed by nuances of well-integrated oak wood. The finish is long, soft and elegant.

The grapes for this dreamlike cuvée were harvested in the cool morning hours and upon arrival in the cellar were hand-sorted and destemmed berry by berry. The Grenache portion was subjected to a 48-hour cold swelling phase before natural fermentation began. Syrah, Mourvedre and Carignan were separately mixed with yeasts and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Syrah and Mourvedre were given an extra two weeks on the skins after completion of fermentation. After fermentation was completed, all wines were pressed separately into barrels and matured for 10 months in a combination of 225l, 300l and 500l French oak barrels. After fermentation was completed, only the best barrels were blended and allowed to continue the production process.
