Chateau Cavalier is a 130 hectare property situated in the heart of the Cotes de Provence. Made in a modern style in stainless steel, temperature controlled fermentation tanks, the wine is predominantly Grenache, with a small proportion of Cinsaut and Syrah. This is a classic Provence style wine, contact with the skins during fermentation is kept to a minimum in order to release a light blush of colour but minimise tannin extraction. After this short maceration the still fermenting juice is run off the skins into stainless steel tanks, fermented to dryness and then filtered and bottled without any contact with oak. This is a blend of 90% Grenache, 5% Syrah and 5% Cinsault with a uplifted and fruity nose showing red fruits and crushed raspberries. The palate is elegant with redcurrant and strawberry fruit, refreshing acidity and a dry finish. (6 x 75 cl)
