Karnage Vin Kassette B VDF Red 2020

This wine was made from grapes purchased from a vineyard near the beautiful southern walled city of Carcassonne. The grapes are 50% Alicante Bouschet and 50% Merlot.

Alicante Bouschet is an exciting grape variety that is receiving more attention since it is a teinturier grape - meaning it is a red grape with red juice. The whole bunches of Alicante were distributed across two tanks, and the first tank was filled with half of the direct-pressed Merlot and left for three weeks. The second tank was filled with destemmed Merlot for 15 days. 

The wine was bottled without any additions.
