about this wine:
"Monile" is a red wine made from classic grape varieties, with a predominance of Cabernet Sauvignon clone selected on the estate. The very low production per hectare produces a full-bodied wine suitable for prolonged ageing, during which any youthful roughness can be smoothed out. Vinification takes place using selected yeast inoculum in temperature-controlled conditions with lengthy maceration in small stainless steel vats. The following spring, when the malolatic fermentation is complete, the wine is transferred into small, fine oak barriques, where it matures for about 18 months in temperature- controlled conditions. Bottles ageing, again at a constant temperature, lasts for a minimum of 12 months before the wine is released onto the market. "Monile" is only produced when there is a particularly fine vintage , and total production is about 15.000 numbered bottles.

A very ripe, almost New World style, offering big, chewy tannins and dried dark fruits, with treacle tart and raisin notes. Full-bodied. Needs time to mellow. Cabernet Sauvignon. Best after 2012. 750 cases made. -JS
