Xavier Roger,  Shiraz, Deux Grives, 2022, Languedoc-Roussillon [Vegan]

A Shiraz that overdelivers for its price – unquestionably sumptuous, and spicy! The concentration of fruit achieved is outstanding in this French full bodied and juicy red.

Tasting Notes:

Bright ruby red. On the nose notes of blackberry, violet and cassis. On the palate the fruit opens up with a hint of liquorice. Extremely silky tannins and subtle oaking that balances the dense fruit characteristics.

Specification

Vinification After harvest and upon reaching optimal ripeness the grapes are destemmed and divided into two sections at the triage table. The first is traditionally fermented on their skin for 10 days. The second group - a much smaller percentage- is processed using thermovinification -increasing to very high temperatures before fermentation. This helps to develop and enhance the extraction of phenolic compounds and improve wine quality. Both are blended once their individual processes are complete.
