AWARDS

2025 - Gilbert & Gaillard - Gold

Our Little Rock Rouge 2023 is a blended wine of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Cabernet Franc, all lending a helping hand to the final blend. This wine strikes a perfect balance between easy-drinking and complexity, showing a balanced fruit profile and a smooth, soft palate with juicy tannins. We create this wine to be enjoyed for all occasions!

in the vineyard : The 2022/2023 season will be remembered for the dry and warmer winter, generally good growing conditions during the vegetative growth phase, good rain shortly before véraison, which benefited quality, and a cool and wet ripening period, which gave grapes a chance to ripen optimally at a slower rate.

about the harvest: Hand harvested on 17 and 23 March 2023

in the cellar : Each of the cultivars in the blend was vinified and matured separately, with blending occurring after 18 months of barrel ageing. Fermentation took place at 26 degrees Celsius, with gradual tannin extraction resulting in a soft and juicy tannin profile. The blend consists of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Syrah and 23% Cab Franc.
