Gaillac Rouge AOP "Vendemia" 2021 - Domaine de Brin

Gaillac Rouge AOP "Vendemia" - Domaine de Brin

The Gaillac Rouge AOP "Vendemia" is a red wine obtained from a blend of indigenous Gaillac grapes, such as Duras and Braucol. The grapes come from old vineyards with an average age of 30 years growing on clayey soils. The harvest is manual. In the cellar fermentation is spontaneous, with only indigenous yeasts, and maceration on the skins for 15 days. Aging in steel tanks. No clarification, no filtration before being bottled. The Gaillac "Vendemia" is a deep ruby ​​red color. The nose expresses aromas of small red fruits, and notes of sweet spices. On the palate it is full and fruity, with an expressive but silky tannin, good acidity and a pleasant persistence.

Service

We taste it at a temperature around 16/18 ° C in tulip glasses. Wine to drink immediately but if left a few years in the cellar can give great satisfaction.

Pairings

Excellent red wine ideal with pasta dishes, roast meat, game and game to try with roast lamb chops.

Winery: Domaine de Brin

The Domaine de Brin is located near the town of Castanet, in the AOC Gaillac. Here, the landscape ripples in rolling hills and the crossing of small villages marks the succession of vineyards and woods, and everything takes on a Tuscan look. The ancient family property is surrounded by oak woods, in a peaceful and preserved environment. Today the Domaine is led by Damien Bonnet who is convinced that the good quality of the wine depends on the health of the vineyard and its surrounding environment. To do this, apply organic methods for the cultivation of its vineyards and in the winery the vinifications are natural, so that the wine can better reflect the terroir, the influence of the climate and the expression of the vines. The cultivated vines are typical of Gaillac, like the Duras, the Braucol and the Prunelart for those with red berries, the Mauzac, the Far from the eye and the Ondenc for the white ones. The vineyards cover 12 hectares, where on the stony grounds the white-berry varieties are cultivated that favor finesse and minerality, while the red-berry varieties are grown on clayey and slightly deeper soils, for better integration into the terroir. The vintages are manual, and the vinifications are spontaneous with refining of wines in vats or barrels. The clarification of the wines is done simply by gravity. Red wines are not filtered.
