Grape(s): 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.

The Terres de Molines Cabernet Sauvignon cuvée comes from vines planted in a clay and limestone soil. Yield limitation through spring pruning and “green harvest.” A selective leaf removal occurs to improve grape ripeness and health as well as a late harvest to promote skin and aromatic ripeness. 100% destemming with sorting, and cold pre-fermentation maceration to maximize aromas and color. Temperature controlled fermentation (25C) with limited extraction. Maceration under hot skin cap (30C) for 4 days in order to round off the tannins. Ageing with micro-oxygenation to refine the tannins.

Long, fresh, fruity finish.
