Mont Destin 11 BARRELS 2010
Platter Rating:
3˝ Stars
TASTING NOTES
A red blend of Shiraz 50%, Cinsaut 45% and Mourvédre 5% in perfect harmony! Deep, rich red colour
and intense mouth-filling ripe plum and blackberry flavours.
VINIFICATION
The grapes for this delicious blend, were handpicked and transported to the cellar in small lug boxes.
On arrival at the winery, the bunches underwent sorting on a vibrating table, followed by destemming,
then further handsorting to remove any remaining stems. This attention to detail ensured that only the
highest quality berries were lightly crushed into a satellite tank which was hoisted and opened above a
stainless steel fermentation tank. Inoculation with a French yeast was made after a three day cold soak.
Fermentation was slow and gentle.
