Avenius Red

Avenius Red Wine Details
Price: $38.00 per bottle

Description: We hand sort before destemming and then again afterwards to remove pink berries and stem pieces. Fermentation began naturally (no added yeasts) in small one ton fermentors. We punch down by hand once or twice per day. Pressing took place after about 7 to 10 days, usually at dryness. The wine was aged in new and old (neutral) oak barrels and puncheons (French and Hungarian) for 18 months. Unfined. 79% Petit Verdot, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon. 164 cases produced. Drink now through 2018.
