Product information "The Drift Mary le Bow 2014"
In a rich and deep ruby red, The Drift Mary le Bow presents itself in the glass and ensnares the nose with a stunning and complex bouquet of blackcurrant, khaki fruit, cassis, mulberry, buchu and juniper. Aromas that also continue in the form of delicious nuances on the elegant and full-bodied palate. In particular, nuances of ripe mulberry, blackcurrant and fragrant mocha fan out on the palate and ensure absolute pleasure. The finish is incredibly soft, long lasting and has a pleasant resonance.

The grape material was harvested at optimal ripeness and completely destemmed. 30% of the berries were gently crushed, while the remaining portion was subjected to a cold swelling phase of five days as a whole berry. Once the cold swelling phase was completed, yeast was added to the grapes at a temperature of 25°-27°C to start the fermentation process. During fermentation, the cap was slightly submerged every four hours. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was aged for 16 months in French barriques, 30% of which were new wood.
