Information about "Saronsberg Full Circle 2022"
The grapes for the Saronsberg Full Circle were hand-harvested in the early morning and promptly chilled to 4 °C. Shiraz and Mourvèdre bunches were sorted whole, destemmed, and inspected berry by berry for quality. The berries were then gently crushed and placed in open fermentation tanks separately. During fermentation, the cap was submerged four times daily. After fermentation, the Shiraz spent an additional 21 days on skins, then pressed into 100% French Allier oak barrels. Mourvèdre was also pressed to complete its fermentation in barrels. The Viognier was fermented separately in barrel, and the Grenache underwent spontaneous fermentation. After malolactic fermentation, the wines were lightly sulfitized and aged on lees for 11 months. Once aging was complete, the various wines were blended and returned to the barrels, then filtered and lightly fining before bottling, where the wine aged for an additional 11 months before release.
