{"product_id":"charles-melton-la-belle-mere-australie","title":"Charles Melton - La Belle Mère - 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated in the renowned Barossa Valley in South Australia, the Charles Melton estate boasts hillside vineyards and old vines rooted in diverse soils of sand, clay, and gravel. The La Belle Mère cuvée is primarily sourced from Grenache, Shiraz, and Mourvèdre plots cultivated around Krondorf and the central valley, benefiting from a warm climate tempered by cooler influences from the surrounding hills. This mosaic of terroirs imparts a generous, structured, and balanced character to the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe grapes for this cuvée are harvested at full maturity, and each varietal is vinified separately before blending. Fermentation takes place in open vats, with regular pump-overs to extract color and structure. After racking, the wine is aged primarily in French oak barrels, including a proportion of new barrels, complemented by older barrels to preserve the fruit. Aging continues in barrels before bottling at the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe red fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003ejuicy black fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003eplum\u003c\/strong\u003e , enhanced by spicy touches of \u003cstrong\u003epepper\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003elicorice\u003c\/strong\u003e , as well as delicate \u003cstrong\u003efloral\u003c\/strong\u003e nuances and integrated oak with hints of \u003cstrong\u003evanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ecedar\u003c\/strong\u003e .
