TWO ICONS, ONE SIGNATURE OF EXCELLENCE
Clos de Caille ‘Patrius’ 2021 – Red Tête de Cuvée
The grapes were harvested by hand on 23 September 2021 for the Syrah and on 13 September 2021 for the Cabernet Sauvignon. Half of the Syrah was vinified in concrete eggs and half in casks, while the Cabernet Sauvignon was vinified entirely in 500-litre barrels. The ageing process, representing approximately 40% of the blend, took place in lightly toasted French oak containers: twelve months in 500-litre demi-muids for the Syrah and fifteen months in 225-litre barrels for the Cabernet Sauvignon. Bottling took place in April 2023, after which the wine was left to rest for eighteen months in the bottle in order to enhance its roundness while preserving its brightness.
The result is a wine with a deep colour and a complex nose of black fruits and spices. The palate is full-bodied and harmonious, revealing ripe tannins and a long, elegant finish, enhanced by subtle woody notes.
