2022 Domaine du Cros "Lo Sang del Pais" Marcillac

Tasting Notes: A dark purple-red in colour. On the nose scents of brambly red fruits with balsamic notes. The palate is mineral in texture ('Fer' translates into 'iron', after all) with further spicy red fruits flavours leading to a fresh and clean finish.

The Domain: “Lo Sang del Pais” translates as “the blood of the countryside” and one can easily feel the life-force of this wine. The grape bunches are hand harvested and after being de-stemmed they are fed into fermentation tanks using gravity flow. The “cuvaison” lasts 21 days with the juice being pumped over the cap during the first 6 days. The wine is aged for 6 months in large oak and chestnut barrels which range in age up to 200 years old. The wine has a bright violet color and aromas of wild red fruit and pepper which follow through on the palate with freshness and vibrancy.
