Description

The 2015 AN 2 is mostly Callet with small amounts of Fogoneu and Manto Negro grapes fermented in 4,000-liter oak vats and cement tanks with yeasts they have isolated from their own vineyards. It matured for 13 months in oak barrels, mostly French but with some 20% made of American oak and 10% of Central European oak, but 10% of the volume wasn t put in barrique. It s fragrant and perfumed, with generous spices and smoke, but also flowers and wild berries. It feels quite fluid, more agile, with good balance.

Deep ruby-red in color, ÀN 2 has complex aromas of savory spices, wild raspberries, dark cherry fruit and a hint of violets and smokiness. On the palate the wine is silky and elegant with intense flavors of mature fruit. Well-balanced with a long finish.

This wine pairs excellently with pork chops, rabbit ravioli, or roasted leg of duck.

Blend: 65% Callet, 20% Mantonegre-Fogoneu, 15% Syrah
