Minima Moralia Respect - 2009
“They cannot take away our self respect if we do not give it to them.” - Mahatma Gandhi
Vintage: 2009.
Organisation of the vineyard: The Domain disposes of 46 hectares de Cabernet Sauvignon and 10 hectares of Marselan, planted at a density of 5.000 plants per hectare. The orientation of the plants is from North to South, on a mix of argil and gravel, placed over a limestone layer. The pruning type is single Guyot. The yield was 6 to 8 to/ha.
Winemaking method: The grapes were hand-harvested, they underwent traditional maceration – fermentation in piston winemakers, followed by 12 to 18 months aging in French and American oak barells, of first and second use. 14 % < 2 G/L 3,56 5,28 G/L.
Tasting notes: From the very first contact, the blend unveil depth and complexity, starting from the mature flavours of rhum and coconut, developing into notes of red forest fruit, green nuts, freshly roasted hazelnuts and spices. The taste fully confirms the sensations already unriddled, with red fruit on the forefront but with a range of background notes which bring fine touches – cacao, spices, dry fruit, strawberry comfiture and well ripened raspberry. Extremely long and pleasent aftertaste, dominated by freshness.
Recommended serving temperature: 16ºC – 18ºC. We recommend the bottle to be open half an hour before serving and the wine to be decanted. The possible deposits certify the minimal intervention performed on the wine.
Variety: Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Marselan
