La Luna

Enjoy with charcuterie and olive tapenade or rosemary encrusted leg of lamb.

La Luna is a Bordeaux Blend made from 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 4% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot organically-grown grapes. The vines, ranging from 18 to 29 years in age, provide a low yield of between 4 and 8 tons of high-quality fruit.

Malolactic fermentation occurred in 225-litre French Oak barrels (1st to 3rd fills), allowing mild wood integration. After several gentle rackings, the wines aged in barrels for 12 to 18 months, with light filtration.

The grapes of these Noble cultivar grapes were picked in cool early mornings between 23˚ and 24 º Balling. After gentle crushing and destemming, the batches underwent 2 to 3 days of tank time. Skin fermentation peaked at 30˚ to 32 º Celsius, lasting 7 to 10 days. Post-fermentation maceration spanned 25 to 30 days.
