JOSEPH CASTAN FIONA Red 2021 Pays d'Oc
Description
Viticulture
On the slopes of Languedoc, the vines are grown on soils composed of Argillaceous-limestone and marls.
Vinification
The traditional method with a two-week maceration is applied.тMining carried out carefully throughout the fermentation process, which occurs at a temperature of 28°C, so that the smoothness and varietal the aromas are fully expressed in the wine.
Tasting notes
This is a beautiful crimson wine with deep violet reflections. Its smell is complex, full and smart, offering small-berry flavours to the nose – as if they were slightly cooked – and an outstanding smell of pepper and cinnamon. One can also sense some chocolate hints. A plain, round attack on the palate gives way to a strongbodied, ripe tannins taste experience. Its dense final persistence, slightly mentholated, eventually reveals spices' and chocolate flavours.
