Description
When about 90 g/l of residual sugar is left, the rimage or vintage red Banyuls is muted with pure alcohol (96.4 % vol.). The wine is fermented in vats. It is then placed in 30-hl oak casks or barrels. The maturing period lasts 18-months in an oxygen free environment. As a result it conserves its vinous characteristics and its aromatic notes of fresh fruit.
This is a genuine explosion of berry flavours (cherry, black currant). Boasting good concentration, it offers a rich and round palate with coated tannins.
