{"product_id":"birichino-enz-vineyard-mourvedre-etats-unis","title":"Birichino - Enz Vineyard Mourvèdre - 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Enz vineyard nestles at the bottom of a canyon in the Lime Kiln Valley, in San Benito County, on California's Central Coast. The San Andreas Fault runs less than a kilometre away, a granite quarry borders the vines and old lime kilns dot the hills. Planted in 1922 and farmed organically for a very long time, this plot of Mourvèdre grows on complex soils of limestone and decomposed granite, which give the wine a very pronounced mineral identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are harvested by hand in mid-October, then partially destemmed before a short maceration. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place spontaneously, with native yeasts, in neutral barrels. The wine is then aged there for several months and bottled without fining or filtration, allowing the uniqueness of this rocky terroir to express itself fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eblackberry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eblackcurrant\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eblack plum\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ewatermelon\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eviolet\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eblack pepper\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003egarrigue\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eflint\u003c\/strong\u003e. The palate is silky and powdery, elegant rather than powerful, carried by fine, tight-knit tannins that will soften with time. The deep, persistent finish extends this sensation of rock.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valade \u0026 Transandine","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":59628676612444,"sku":null,"price":63.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Set of 2 bottles (75cl)","offer_id":59628676645212,"sku":null,"price":126.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/0032\/0643\/files\/DSC04998-5-scaled.jpg?v=1792760853","url":"https:\/\/www.lebaroudeurduvin.com\/en\/products\/birichino-enz-vineyard-mourvedre-etats-unis","provider":"Le Baroudeur du Vin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
