Production

Harvested by hand into small 10-12 kilo (22-26 lb) crates. If necessary, grapes go through an on-table-sorting process to take out raisins and rotten bits of fruit. The grape varieties are fermented mainly in tanks, with the grape skins periodically punched down and then pumped at the end of the fermentation. We place some varieties separately in small tanks and work on them manually to understand each individual grape variety we have. During the blending we decide what proportion of each variety to use to produce Tossudes. 

Tasting notes

A moderate ruby colour with purple undertones. Remarkable ripe fruit aromas combined with light spicy notes. On the palate, this is a fresh mild wine with sweet elegant tannins and a pleasant finish full of flavour.
Pairs well with soft, creamy cheeses, grilled meats and pork stuffed with prunes or plums.
