WINEMAKING
Once the grapes arrive at the winery, they are destemmed andgently crushedwithout breaking the berries. Fermentation takes place exclusively withindigenous yeastsin traditional masonry tanks filled to no more than 70% of their capacity, where the must remains on the skins for seven days.
After an exceptionally gentle pressing atno more than 1 barusing a central membrane pneumatic press, the wine rests in the masonry tanks until bottling.
TASTING NOTES
Bright ruby red in colour with delicate violet reflections. The nose immediately reveals aromas of red berries such as strawberry, cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant, followed by subtle floral notes of violet and delicate herbal nuances, all supported by a vibrant freshness.
The palate is medium-bodied, lively and well balanced. Soft tannins accompany a fresh acidity, while the finish is persistent and continues to evolve after each sip. The balance between fruit, acidity and tannins makes Sud Ovest remarkably versatile at the table.
FOOD PAIRING
A highly versatile red wine that pairs beautifully with slow-cooked red meats, spiced white meats and pasta with meat, vegetable or even fish-based sauces. It also works well with smoked, grilled or stewed fish, seafood soups, risottos, eggs, savoury pies, pizza, cured meats and charcuterie. An excellent companion to both vegetarian and vegan cuisine.
AGEING POTENTIAL
Enjoyable immediately, with an ageing potential of at least four years, during which it will gradually develop more complex tertiary aromas.
