After one year, Skalli proceed with the definitive blending, which will melt together harmoniously during the last 6 months in barrels. A dark red coloured wine with a nose of small red fruit combined with nuances of caramel. A refined wine with a great ampleness which never ceases to expand throughout the tasting. The tannins, present but perfectly granular, contribute to this sensation of volume. Notes of toast and undergrowth. The finish is remarkable for its length marked by the perception of a refined touch of wood and jammy black fruit. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £83.42

RobertSkalli 'F' RANGE Chardonnay Vin de Pays D'Oc
Description: F., the most prestigious brand of Les Vins Skalli, was created in 1998 with the 1996 vintage. F. wines, christened in homage to Francis Skalli, father of Robert. Conceived to convey the timeless expression of great wines, F. is distributed in strictly limited quantities. F. wines epitomize the winemaking know-how of Les Vins Skalli venerable vines, patient vinification followed by eighteen months of aging in French oak barrels, under the expert advice of Michel Rolland, who assists Les Vins Skalli with winemaking. The grapes are harvested at night. This is followed by an 8-hour skin maceration at a cold temperature before pneumatic pressing. Static settling of the must takes place at a cold temperature; the clear part is then transferred into barrels to undergo the alcoholic fermentation. This stage lasts for approximately 10 days. The barrels are then regularly stirred every 8 days for 6 months. Putting the lees back into suspension allows us to enrich the wines, fix the freshness of the aromas and provides mild aromatic notes . In 1999, we carried out a malolactic fermentation on 54% of the total volume to strengthen the aromatic complexity and conserve all of the vivacity of the final blend. This wine shows a straw-yellow colour, slightly golden. The powerful nose expresses honey and candied fruit aromas . On the palate it is ample and unctuous with aromas of yellow peach flesh combined with refined notes of wood and vanilla, all enhanced by a richer sensation of honey. The finish is rich, mild and the persistence of the vanilla and cream flavours strengthen this sensation. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £79.21

RobertSkalli Syrah Vin de Pays d'Oc
Description: Two unique vineyards were selected for this Syrah, one is situated in a temperate climatic zone in the North West of the Languedoc, on magnificent, stony, but quite deep, chalky soil. The second is cultivated on slightly fertile, clayey-gravelly soil, situated in a very ventilated terroir, which brings freshness during the grape maturation period. When ageing a portion of the wine is transferred in barrels in order to gain smoothness. The other portion remains in vats. This combination allows the wine to elegantly harmonise the strength of the wine aged in wood with the freshness of the fruit from the wine aged in vats. Deep red in color and aromatic tones of spices and violets combined with intense plum, chocolate and black cherry flavours make this structured, succulent wine wonderfully complex. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £98.56

RobertSkalli Cabernet Sauvignon Vin de Pays d'Oc
Description: In the warmth of southern France, the Cabernet Sauvignon achieves a degree of maturity rarely found in its native Bordeaux. While still displaying the classic blackcurrant and cedarwood character, mingled with a touch of vanilla from the brief period of barrel ageing, it is a much more approachable wine than most Clarets.
