Tasting notes

Engaging aromas of raspberry jam, blueberries and cassis, plus a background of forest floor classic from this vineyard. On the palate it is round, complex and well balanced, with firm tannins that promise a long life.

MARIMAR ESTATE

Vinification and aging

After minimal crushing, the harvested grapes were stainless-steel fermented, using indigenous yeast. The wine was aged in premium French oak barrels, 49% new, until bottling in late summer.

Terroir

Perfect combination of a thin layer of sandy loam (Goldridge series) of volcanic origin and marine sediment over fractured Sandstone subsoil. Sandstone, a formation from an ancient seabed, has the ability to hold moisture because of its porosity but still imparts superb drainage.
