Château Paradis
Rouge Terre des Anges

Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Grenache (20%) and Syrah (30%).
Average age of vines is 20 years. Average yield after green harvest
25 HL/Ha (1.3 T/acre).
Grapes are picked by hand and sorted out in small cases. They are
de-stemmed, crushed and tipped into uncoated concrete tanks.
After 3 to 4 days of cold maceration to extract fruit aromas, the
fermentation starts naturally using indigenous yeast and last for 10
days (Max temperature 28°C (82°F)). During this period we alternate
délestagewith punch down to extract maximum grape potential. Once
the wine finishes fermenting, the maceration process continues for
approximately 10 more days.
The wine is then aged for 12 months, one-half in oak barrels (50% new
oak, 50% one year oak) where the malolactic fermentation starts and
the other half in uncoated concrete tanks. Thereafter, the wine is
blended, left to stand for 40 days and finally bottled without fining or
filtration.
