2021 Mourvèdre

Vinification:

This lot was picked early in the morning to keep the fruit cool prior to processing. The Mourvédre was then destemmed and sorted into one-ton fermentation bins. 10% of its volume was then bled off in order to concentrate the varietal intensity of the flavors and tannin from the grape skins. The Mourvédre was pumped over twice per day during fermentation and remained on the skins for 17 days prior to pressing.
