Koyle Royale Cabernet Sauvignon

The wine comes from Los Lingues Estate. The soil presents a matrix of rocks in different states of decomposition, mainly as fragmented alterites, which give the balance sought between vigour, productivity and quality. Mineral notes are expressed because of the balanced extraction through the deep roots.

Vinification is conducted in small tanks to get the best extraction of aromas, flavors and silky tannins. After fermentation, the Koyle Royale Cabernet Sauvignon is aged in French oak barrels for eighteen months, with no filtration.

Well-drained soils have a clay texture with volcanic rocks and colluvial stones that deliver unique minerals giving the right balance to
the Royale line. Both are key factors of optimal terroir for the production of high quality red wines.

Double Guyot

The 2017 Royale Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from the second and third terraces of their vineyards in Los Lingues and contains 11 % Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. They used 30% uncrushed grapes for the fermentation with indigenous yeasts. It matured in oak barrels for 22 months. They managed to keep the tension and freshness in a very warm year-the fruit is ripe, but there is no heat in the wine. The fruit is darker, and there is a notable absence of herbal aromas. 62,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2019.

Cola, mint and eucalyptus aromas are attached to a spicy berry tone. The full-bodied palate is saturated yet balanced, while pepper and blackberry flavors come with an herbal undertone. Drink through 2025.
