Organic wine - profile

• Color: intense ruby red color with purple shimmer
• Nose: Complex scents that evoke associations of fruity red berries, black currants, sour cherries, forest soil, sandalwood and cedarwood. Aeration of the wine intensifies these impressions and still adds notes of smoke.
• Palate: The taste on the palate is lush and complex, and the aromas are reminiscent of the nose-scented red berry scents. The spicy notes of Garrique, of cinnamon, the ripe flavors of the barrique and a beautiful tannin structure underline the complexity of this organic wine whose aftertaste lasts long.
• Drinking recommendation: this wine should be tempered at 16-18 ° C and aerated for one hour in a wide-bellied carafe. You can enjoy it now, or up to 10 years from harvest year.

Organic wine - processing, Domaine des Terres Blanches, Cuvé Aurelia, red

The wine maker used the best grapes that were picked by hand in the vineyards close to the winery. This was followed by a 3-week mash fermentation with frequent immersion of the pomace so that as many as possible of the substances contained in the grape skins could be solved and transferred into the wine. The maturation of this organic wine in large barrels and barriques took several months. During this time, the wine was regularly transferred, leaving the solids at the bottom of the emptied barrel. This achieved a desired ventilation and avoided the otherwise necessary clarification and filtering of the wine. However, this way of working assumes that only flawless healthy grapes are used.
