Rivesaltes Ambré 2007

The must of the hand-picked, de-stemmed grapes is pre-clarified at cold temperature and then fermented under temperature control. After reaching the desired residual sugar levels, fortification takes place with at least 95% pure alcohol. This is followed by a four-year aging in 6000-liter oak barrels. Light brownish amber with orange reflections. On the nose, it is complex with spicy honey, bread and dark barrel flavours and orange notes. Clear on the palate, fresh and dense, with very good balance, candied orange and nut, backed by dark spicy and barrel aromas.
