Wine Details
Price:
$18.95 per bottle
Description:
The fruit for this wine was hand-harvested as whole clusters in the early hours of the morning when temperatures were low enough to preserve varietal intensity in aromas, flavors and color. The 2003 fruit was of excellent quality with well colored small, ripe berries. At the winery we destemmed a portion of the fruit as whole berries crushing the balance on top to achieve additional complexity by the inclusion of some carbonic maceration. Once inoculated, the must was plunged by hand several times a day until maximum color and flavor was achieved, in small open top fermentors.
From the small fermentors, the fruit was transferred to a basket press, and pressed into new French oak barriques. The wine was racked over a 18 month period prior to bottling. Claros is bottled, unfiltered, in antique green Burgundian 750 ml punted bottles.
