Château de Manissy Trinité 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOP

100% Grenache

A tiger waiting to pounce: gentle and sleek to look at, its power almost palpable, yet walking on paws of velvet. Then an explosion of black fruit: cassis, blackberries, black cherries and notes of roasting coffee, all fully expressed in a beautifully long finish.

Hand harvested. Fruit is transported to the winery in small crates and handled with great care. Grapes are destemmed, crushed and cold-soaked for 12-48 hours with the cap submerged. Alcoholic fermentation is started by native yeasts and continues at moderate temperatures (24-28° C) for 25 days. Aged in concrete tanks and new 500-litre barrels for 9-12 months (part of the blend only).

Excellent ageing potential.
