Terres Fidèles Fidèle Corral d'En Pi AOP Collioure Rouge 2022

Winemaking

One third of the grapes were de-stemmed and two-thirds remained whole bunch. Long traditional maceration, some with carbonic fermentation at around 24°C, and left in contact with the lees for a month. Malolactic fermentation was carried out. No fining, no stabilisation, very, very light filtration and then the wine was bottled. It is kept in bottle for 3 months before being released.

Tasting Note

The wine opens up with rich red fruit notes. The palate is juicy and the freshness of the schistous terroir gives a lovely grip and good balance to the wine. With the right levels of extraction, tannins are firm but gentle, supporting black plum flavours and a subtle hint of black olive tapenade.

Food Match

A flavoursome flame grilled steak, veal or a bowl of pasta.
