Biodynamic wine profile

• Color: intense ruby red color with a beautiful shine.
• Nose: The nose reveals aromas of black berries: black currant, blueberry, blackberry and floral notes of hawthorn and orange blossom. The woody note is delicate and particularly well fused with the richness of the aromas.
• Mouth: as soon as the first drops flow over the lips into the mouth, they already provide a sweet pleasure experience. The tannins are silky, the aromas of black fruits are expressed. The finish is elegant and shows a great balance between minerality and spices
• My drinking recommendation: This cuvée could accompany a roasted nut of an Iberian pork leg with a garlic cream sauce with new potatoes roasted with rosemary.

Château Romanin, Les Baux de Provence, red, biodynamic wine processing

Although the grapes are picked by hand in perfect ripeness, a further selection of the grapes is done on a reading table. The mash fermentation (must with berries without stems and panicles) lasts for 20 to 30 days in large stainless steel tanks and wooden barrels at a temperature of 24 ° to 26 ° depending on the grape variety. After the end of the alcoholic fermentation followed by a few weeks delay of malolactic fermentation (lactic acid fermentation). After that, the young wine matures for 18 months in large wooden barrels where it refines and reaches its initial drinking maturity.

Every work step, both in the vineyard and during winemaking in the cellar, up to the filling of the bottle, must take place at a certain position of the moon and the stars.
