The Mullineux Leeu Passant Dry Red Wine is an intense and expressive wine. It smells of a seductive, cool-fruity blend of bergamot, cherries with herbal notes and some pepper. On the palate it shows mineral and stony with perfect acidity and a long and satisfying finish.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were picked by hand and pressed half of them without destemming as whole grapes and fermented with the addition of local yeast. The wine matured for 18 months in 225 litre barrels (30% of which are new) made of French oak.
