Château Paradis Red

Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (55%), Grenache (35%) and Syrah (10%).
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 délestage
with 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 month, 30% in oak barrels where the malolactic
fermentation starts, 70% in uncoated concrete tank.
