2019 Domaine Sainte Croix "Magneric" - Corbières - 6 Bottles (0.75L)

6 bottles from Domaine Sainte Croix, Magneric cuvée, 2019.

The origin of the name, “Magneric”, is an exceptionally high-quality Grenache Noir vineyard that is isolated on the hills.
Organic wine.
Grape varieties: Old Grenache Noir 31%, Old Carignan Noir 29%, Syrah 35%, Mourvèdre 5%.
Vines trained in a goblet with two eyes and aged 60 and 105 years for Grenache and Carignan respectively. The Syrah is trained in simple Guyot.
Aging on the lees in stainless steel tanks (30%), and in French oak barriques (228/300/400 litres) for 16 months.
No fining, tangential filtration.

Color fairly deep with purplish-red highlights. On the nose and palate, notes of blackberry, wild raspberry, cassis and fig, accompanied by a hint of oak.
The richness and concentration are balanced by the freshness of the Carignan.
Tannins, both dense and fine, fill the mouth of this wine which finishes with aromas of blackcurrant, prune and crushed stone.

Splendid!!
