Notes sur le produit
RECOMMENDED FOOD PAIRING Meat-Based: Herb-crusted quail or chicken with cornbread stuffing served with apricot jus or a side dish of roasted potatoes in herbes de Provence would go perfectly with this wine. Plant-Based: A mild spicy noodle dish like Pad Thai or a Mixed Vegetable Stir Fry would pair marvellously
Élaboration du produit
GROWN: Black Sage Bench, North Oliver SOIL TYPE: Glacio Fluvial Fan; Gravel and sand at Crowley, Vineyard, mostly Sand and Clay and rare pockets of Gravel in Le Grand Pin Block. AGE OF VINES: 13-17 year old vines YIELD: Average of 4.3 tons/acre PRODUCTION: 1,105 cases AGING: 7 months in 75% in stainless tanks and 25% French oak, mostly puncheons BATTONAGE: Twice a week We opted for more of the blend age in stainless steel rather than Oak barrels (to preserve the freshness) also noteworthy is the absence of any new oak. Anticipate beautiful toasted cereal notes and honey drizzled toasted brioche notes to come forward about half a dozen years post vintage.
Notes de dégustation
Ava is at its best with a long decant or better yet tucked away for at least a couple of years of number time in the cellar. Canned peaches, grapefruit rind, and yellow plums are mingling with white aromatic flowers, herbal tea, and light brioche notes.
