Our philosophy and goal is to craft a wine that is both age-worthy and fresh. To this end we take great pains to not harvest grapes at an overripe stage, to control fermentations somewhat, and to limit barrel-age time to about one year (with the majority of wood Allier or tight grained to limit extraction).
Additionally we like to use a high percentage of Carignane in the final blend which, due to it’s natural high acidity, lends both crispness and freshness to the wine as well as long life.
Tasting notes: Opaque purple-colored. Aromas of ripe red fruits (blackberry and blueberry), slate and spicy notes with a balsamic background from barrel aging. In the mouth, the wine is rich with good structure and notes of vanilla, spices and fruit. The finish is long and very crisp thanks to the natural minerality.
Food pairing: Excellent with roasted meats. Ideal to match with pasta and rice dishes.
Total wood contact time for this wine was about 14 months and 12 months in bottles.
Grapes: 44% Carignane, 37% Red Grenache, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon.

]]>Style: Our philosophy with Bocins Blanc is to produce a wine that is aromatically intense, fruity and fresh. To this end, we put the maximum effort in the vineyard and harvest the grapes at their maximum of varietal expression. We also monitor and maintain the fermentation temperature as low as possible. We ferment the white grenache in oak barrels to obtain a rounder and complex wine in the mouth.
Tasting notes: Yellow color with green tones. Intense and complex aroma of peach and citrus (tangerine) with touches of apple and tropical fruits. In the mouth, it is a dense and rich wine. The finish is long and fresh thanks to a balanced acidity and natural minerality.
Gastronomy: Excellent with salads and rice dishes. Ideal to pair with fish and shellfish.
Service: To achieve the maximum expression of this wine it is advisable to serve cold, between 8-10ºC.
Conservation: Although this wine was crafted to be consumed earlier than later, it will continue to improve in the next 2-3 years if properly cellared.
