Why You'll Love It
Rich and gently warming, this mature Rivesaltes layers dried citrus, caramel and walnuts over a savoury edge. A small glass goes a long way with walnut tart, mature cheese or an unhurried end to dinner.
About The Producer
Lionel Comelade works with old Macabeu and Grenache Gris vines in the Roussillon, on schist soils between Estagel and Latour-de-France. The estate's long-aged sweet wines show a particularly compelling side of this landscape: concentrated fruit transformed by patient barrel maturation into something deeply savoury and complex.
Winemaking Information
Macabeu and Grenache Gris were harvested late in 1992 and partly fermented in concrete. Fortification stopped fermentation while natural grape sugar remained. Extended ageing in old oak barrels without topping up developed the wine's amber colour and oxidative complexity. Bottled at 16% ABV in 50cl.
