Powerful, yet elegant the wine is an ideal partner for a variety of roasted and grilled wild game or beef dishes. Also brilliant served alongside strong cheeses.

Harvest & Vinification
Grapes are hand picked and placed into small-aerated crates with a capacity of approximately 20 kg. Following meticulous selection on the sorting table, grapes are destalked. They are not put through a pump, but transferred into small steel carts with a capacity of 0.2 tons. They are “tread” by foot in steel and concrete tanks, as well as wooden vats with a capacity of 3000 l. Only indigenous yeasts are used for both the alcoholic and malo-lactic fermentations. Fermentation is temperature controlled at 28oC and lasts between 7 and 12 days, the cap is plunged by hand and occasionally delestage is employed. Pumping over is avoided to minimize influencing the must with pumps. Nambrot is aged approximately18 months in 225-liter new, second-use and third-use French oak casks.
