Santadi Terre Brune 2002

Bin No. SANTTB02

Price: £27.00

Santadi’s Terre Brune is sourced from old vines that are bush trained in the traditional manner in argillaceous and sandy soils in the Sulcis region. This reduces yields to as little as 1.5kg per vine; in turn creating super concentrated grapes. Harvest is by hand from late September into October. Vinification is in stainless steel vats with skin maceration, at around to 25° - 28°C, with frequent pumping over to extract maximum colour and flavour. The maceration is concluded within 15-16 days then the malolactic fermentation is started as early as possible and continues into December. The wine is then transferred into new French barriques to age for between 16 and 18 months where the ripe tannins soften and harmonise with the wine into a silky structure. There is a light fining before bottling but no filtration, and the wine then ages for at least a year in bottle at 14°C.
The wine displays intense aromas and excellent use of oak. Terrific structure and body with ripe, smooth, black fruit and spices on the palate it is immediately striking due to its richness and extract. The balance between the fruit and the wood is superb.

The name Dog Point is derived from the scrub covered hill, overlooking the Wairau Plains, designated by the early European settlers as a place where shepherds’ dogs who had got lost, or wandered off, took refuge. They
