Description

Dark cherries and baked plums are unfolding from the glass, transitioning into thyme and crushed pepper with impressions of liquorice. A complex wine with a firm tannin structure, yet smooth mouthfeel. The supporting role of the oak intensifies the underlying dark cacao and spicy characters.

Vineyard

Within Marion's Vineyard you'll find Block B, planted in 1999. Like all of Schubert's sites, vines here are farmed organically and densely planted. The differentiator with Block B is its exclusive Dijon clonal selections: 115, 667, 777, 114 and 113. Soils are free-draining with alluvial loam over old river gravels.

Vinification

Classic Burgundian winemaking. Grapes are hand-harvested, 100% de-stemmed, cold macerated and fermented in stainless steel tanks with very gentle 'pigeage'. Left on skins for a period of 3 weeks then lightly pressed.

Maturation

45% new and 55% used French oak barriques for 18 months prior to bottling.

Bottling

Closure: Natural cork
