Elaboration: 15 – 20 days of maceration, depending on varietal, at a controlled temperature of 78°F to 86°F. After the run-off, the wine is kept at 68°F to start the malolactic fermentation. The wine is kept for up to 24 months, 80% in stainless steel tanks and 20% in French oak barrels. The wine is racked every 3 months the first year and 3 times the second year. Just before bottling, the wine is fined and filtered.
Tasting Notes: Ruby red in color. Aromas of ripe red currant and strawberries with notes of spice. Black pepper and vanilla on the mouth with round and soft tannins. The finish is well balanced, rich, and long.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND
Eleanor of Aquitaine (then Queen of England) ordered monks to plant the first vines on this 72 hectare estate in 1150. The property stretches over the right bank of the Garonne river across the hillsides of Saint Michel de Lapujade, and benefits from the mild and humid air that rises up from the sea and travels down the Garonne valley.
Pierre Boissonneau purchased the property in 1839, and descendants Christian, Pascal, Phillippe, and Nico have transformed it into one of the best places in Bordeaux for value driven organic wine. Moulin de Ferrand has long been a staple for us here at Grape and if you aren’t yet familiar with these it is about time you climb aboard the train.
