Description
Le Soula's red blend is made from 53% Carignan, 37% Syrah and 10% Grenache Noir. Each variety and parcel were hand harvested between September 11 and October 2 and vinified separately in a combination of stainless-steel tanks and large used oak barrels. 9–14-day whole cluster fermentation using only indigenous yeasts, after which each tank and barrel are pressed separately and transferred to large used oak barrels to complete fermentation.
A few years of bottle age have activated flavors of forest floor, mushrooms and clay, and the wine's fruit character balances that depth generously.
