Red Oléti
Malbec flavors in a light, supple and fruity version
Grape variety
The wine is made from two of the three grape varieties included in the Cahors appellation: Malbec: 80%; Merlot: 20%.
The grape varieties are vinified separately before being blended.
Terroir and climate
The vintage comes mainly from plots located on the 2nd terraces, old alluvium composed of sand and silt covering a layer of clayey-sandy pebbles.
The average age of the vines is around 40 years.
The vineyard is entirely grassed and treatments are limited to the strict minimum.
winemaking and aging
Grapes are sorted by hand and fully destemmed.
Maceration lasts around 10 days, and fermentation temperatures range from 24 to 25°C.
Extraction is carried out by punching down the cap (pigeage) and very light pump-overs.
The wines are aged for approximately 6 months in vats before bottling.
Tasting
The wine is light, pleasant, and fruity.
Tips
This wine is best enjoyed at 14-15°C.
