Alexandre Hote 'Cuvee Thomas' Tavel Rouge, 2021

Regular price $35.00

This wine is made from 70% Grenache Noir and 30% Cinsault. The wine goes through carbonic maceration, bringing a freshness to the fruit and aromatics of the juice. It is particularly lengthy with silky red jammy fruit. We would enjoy it with grilled salmon skewers drizzled with pomegranate molasses.

Details

From the winemaker:


Cuvée of 70% Grenache Noir and 30% Cinsault from the “Thomas” plot located on the Plateau de Vallongue, a terroir of rolled pebbles on a clay-limestone base.

Manual harvesting in crates, vatting whole bunches, carbonic maceration, pressing, fermentation and aging on lees, sub-draw for bottling.

All the mechanical actions, transfer, pressing and bottling are carried out using equipment that does not require electricity, but a lot of elbow grease!!!
(vertical “ratchet” press, gravity action for transfers, a rudimentary “four spouts” for setting)

This wine with a persistent length on the palate reveals aromas of red fruits (particularly strawberry jam), with a very particular minerality...

This Tavel, unfiltered, unsulphurized, has a fairly high co2 rate allowing it protection against oxidation as well as a certain durability.

A few minutes are needed (or even decanting) to reveal all the subtleties of this natural wine.
