This follows the traditional Amarone techniques, resulting in a 30% loss in bunch weight. After drying, the wine was fermented on skins for two weeks and then left for a further three weeks before pressing. This extended time on skins helped to soften the wine as the small, aggressive tannins were bound up in the process leaving only larger, silky tannins. The wine was then aged for 10 months in new oak barrels (80% French, 20% American) before being blended and bottled.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry: Australia \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRegion: McLaren Vale\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVintage: 2019\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGrape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eABV: 14.5%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize: 750ml \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProducer: Mitolo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crushed and Cured","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44047046443295,"sku":"","price":48.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/6962\/3071\/files\/crushed-and-cured-wine-shop-wine-merchant-mitolo-serpico-cabernet-sauvignon-portsmouth-southsea.jpg?v=1685544228"},{"product_id":"crossbarn-cabernet-sauvignon-napa-valley","title":"Paul Hobbs, Crossbarn Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, USA, 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRich and luxurious, this deep ruby-coloured wine displays a lovely purity of fruit, with aromas of blackcurrant and boysenberry leading to notes of blueberry and a touch of dried herbs on the palate.

Soils are white ‘albariza’ - rich in calcium carbonate, silica and clay. Albariza has excellent water retention properties and acts like a sponge, but it also forms a hard surface layer when it dries out, preventing evaporation. After the harvest, channels are dug between the vines to exploit these properties and trap the winter rains, creating a water reserve to sustain the vines through the heat of the Jerezano summers, during which temperatures can exceed 38°C.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUpon arrival at the winery, the Palomino grapes are very gently pressed and the must is settled.

After the Palomino is fermented to dryness, it is fortified to 15% and the barrels are only partially filled. This allows a thick veil of 'flor' (yeast) to develop on the wine's surface, protecting it from oxygen. The young wine, known as the ‘sobretabla’, is then fed into the ‘Inocente’ solera system where it ages biologically under the ‘flor’ and is fractionally blended through the ten different criadera levels.

Thanks to the high content of calcic carbonat, its clayey texture does not split; it is soft when wet and absorbs rain like a sponge, and when it dries out it forms a layer that holds in the water, preventing evaporation.
