Wine: Julian Reynolds Grande Reserva 2007 - An exceptionally good wine from an extraordinarily good year. Limited to 10.000 bottles.
Good Choice!
The grapes were harvested at night and poured seperately into Seguin Moreau oak vats without pressing and under temperature control. After the fermentation period they went into Seguin Moreau oak barrels for the malolactic fermentation for 18 months and then spent another 18 months in bottles. The next 5 years they were kept in the cellar before releasing them on the market.
Taste
- Red fruits, mostly cherry
- Chocolate
- Exotic herbs
- Elegant and smooth tannins
- Long persistence
- Wood
- Goes well with spicy food, grilled fish and red meats
It has 14.5 percent alcohol and is much stronger than the Monte Velho I wrote about recently which has 13%. Here you can see the back of the bottle.
In the glass
Photo made through the glass (it is garnet red and darker than the Monte Velho)
Compared to the Monte Velho it is less dry and features the romantic attributes of a Zinfandel without being too sweet. A natural and pure wine for you and your loved ones.
More success to you.
Wow, it always blows my mind to hear how much work goes into just one bottle of wine. This is such an informative post. Ah, and now I'm 21 so I'm way more interested in this topic.
On the website of Reynolds you can find all info. Plus the better pics. The wine costs 17 euro and is high-quality. The most expensive bottle I've ever bought. Tat they harvest at night is nuts haha. Thanks, I needed 2-3 hours to make it and to make the pics 1 hour.
Very good work in this article and how little I could see in your profile successes and thanks for sharing
You are welcome. Thanks a lot. I will update my profile, thx for that too!
Cool post. I liked the photo with the sun behind the glass. I love the fact the winery has been in the family 150 years and still producing good wine.
I wish the through-the-glass shot would have been better. Next time I will top it :)
I love wine and grow grapes, 20 different varieties here in Florida, but only for my own consumption and gifts. I am currently posting about wines in California during a road trip last week. Wine lovers always make good friends, Now following you and upvoted you
That you grow grapes is interesting. To get a reply to a rather aged post is great. Just like opening a bottle of aged wine... :)
Ilook for good stuff
I will make another wine report for sure. Stay tuned :)
