Information about "Villiera The Clan 2020"

Intensely perfumed with dark berry fruit, liquorice, violets and underlying tobacco, spice and graphite. The Clan is full bodied with ripe succulent tannins and great length, the beguiling aromatics complemented by a small percentage of Carignan, which freshens the wine, improving drinkability while creating a point of difference.

The Clan is a reflection of the Grier family and their values as well as nature of the business and the commitment to quality that sustained Villiera over decades in the wine business. Attention to detail was foremost in their minds while creating and packaging The Clan, and no expense has been spared in creating this wine. Only 900 bottles were produced.

Treatment in the cellar Die alten Cabernet-Franc-Reben wurden von Hand bei voller Reife von einem ausgewählten Standort geerntet, während die Carignan-Trauben früh geerntet wurden, um ihre Frische zu behalten. Das Traubengut wurden leicht gepresst und entrappt und dann in einen Rototank gegeben, um eine gute Extraktion zu gewährleisten. Nach einer zweitägigen, kühlen Vormaischung wurde der Wein zur Gärung beimpft. Das Pressen erfolgte vor Ende der Gärung, und der junge Wein wurde in 225-Liter-Fässer aus französischer Eiche (60 % neu, dichte Maserung, mittlere Röstung) umgefüllt. Die malolaktische Gärung erfolgte im Fass, gefolgt von einer 18-monatigen Reifung vor dem Abfüllen.
