Vinification
The hand-harvested Marselan grapes were delivered to the winery in small containers and destemmed into two separate fermenters. After a short period of soaking, some of the lightly pigmented juice was drawn off and fermented separately at cool temperatures in neutral French oak and stainless steel. Cultivated yeasts were used to create bright fruit flavors and a rounded palate without the use of malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged for a short amount of time before being racked, fined, filtered and bottled.

Tasting Notes
This wine is bright and clear, with a deep pink core. The aromas are clean and elevated. Hints of raspberry, strawberry and cherry rise from the glass. The palate is dry and crisp, rich and flavorful. Notes of bramble fruit and spice give way to a rich and complex mouthfeel with a long, soft finish. This wine pairs well with seafood, tapas, cured meats, olives and salads.
