Technical Info
Vintage
The 2011 Altvs is packed with candy-like aromas that make it instantly appealing and memorable. Aromas of French raspberry hard candy meld
beautifully with the burnt sugar and toasted almond smells of toffee. Just underneath lies an intriguing resinous note of fresh rosemary – a nod to the cool vintage. The mouth is lusciously rich and soft.
Overview
Like its big brother wine Merus, Altvs is produced from the same vineyard sources using a combination of small tank and bin fermentations. Very hot fermentations were employed for maximum extraction. All lots were basket pressed and barrels were filled sequentially from tank and press to maximize variability. Lots and barrels were selected for Altus at first and subsequent rackings with an eye toward wines of great perfume and elegance.
