Agricola Punica Barrua 2003 - Magnum

Bin No. BARRUA03M

Price: £60.00

The grapes for this fascinating wine are sourced from two distinctive vineyard sites at Barrua and Narcao. Barrua supplies mostly the Cabernet and Merlot grapes from old bush vines, whilst Narcao is planted mostly with Carignano. The vines are planted in a dense concentration, limiting the yield of each individual plant and increasing the concentration of flavour in the ripe bunches which are all harvested by hand. The whole bunches are destemmed and crushed into open concrete fermenting tanks where they are left for a few days to macerate with the skins before fermentation begins. Ageing is in French Alliers barrique, one third of which are new, one third are second fill and the final third are third fill. Maturation in barrique lasts for 18 months, at which point only the finest barrels are selected for blending. The finished wine is allowed a further ageing period of 12 months in bottle before shipping, ensuring that it is ready to open and enjoy on release.
The final wine is deep ruby in colour with hints of violet and an intense, complex, inky bouquet of plum and blackberries, red fruit jam, spices and bay leaves. Velvety in the mouth, it has a mellow structure and sweet tannins which make it effortlessly elegant with a long, spicy liquorice finish.
