Dr. Frank Cuvee d'Amour 2008





VINIFICATION:

Harvested in October, the hand picked fruit was destemmed and crushed into a traditional styled open fermenter. The wine was then inoculated allowed to ferment to dryness on skins over a ten day period, giving a slow and gentle extraction. Malo-lactic fermentation was allowed to progress whilst the wine aged gracefully in French oak barrels.

DESCRIPTION:

Cuvee d'Amour (vitis Amurensis) is a winter-hardy grape native to the wilds of southern Siberia and northern China.  Crossing of vitis Amurensis with numerous varieties of European wine grapes have yielded early-ripening vines that thrive in colder climates. The '08 Cuvee d'Amour is a spectacular vintage that produced a bold, dark colored, fragrant wine that is firm and flavorful on the palate yet displays a pleasantly piquant, crisp finish, reminiscent of a fine Bordeaux or Barolo.  Serve with beef, game and hearty pasta dishes.
