Le Argille is aged in cement for two years which keeps the wine immaculate and free of aromatic interference (ie, from a barrel) ensuring its uniqueness and its warm, elegant and mature flavour remains intact. This outstanding wine is the result of a wise coupage of Cabernet grapes obtained through the Double Reasoned Maturation (DMR) technique, which is applied directly in the vineyard. This technique consists of clamping select branches before the grapes reach a complete maturation. This means the grapes start to age while still on the vine resulting in a greater concentration of sugar giving more structure and strength to the wine. The wine is aged into cement vats for 24 months, after that the winery team performs a sensory test to decide when the best time to bottle is. After which the wine is then aged further for at least 6 months. *Multi-Award Winning* Concours Mundus Vini Meininger GOLD MEDAL 5 Star Wines Vinitaly SWA Gold DWWA Silver

This is a good conversation-meditation wine, excellent with strong meats like game and venison, meat stews and herby cheeses. It is also very good with fruit jam and desserts, particularly jam tarts and pastries. Try it with dark liquorice flavoured chocolate.
