Le Prieuré

HK$159

Red wine made from a combination of Carignan, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, and Caladoc is a unique and complex blend.

  1. Carignan: This grape provides deep color, high acidity, and tannins, contributing to the wine’s structure and longevity. It often imparts flavors of red and black fruits, along with a hint of spice and earthiness.
  2. Cinsault: Known for its softness and aromatic qualities, Cinsault adds a floral and fruity character to the blend. It can introduce notes of raspberry, strawberry, and sometimes even a touch of pepper.
  3. Mourvèdre: This grape adds depth, complexity, and a rich, meaty texture to the wine. Mourvèdre brings flavors of dark fruits like blackberry and plum, along with earthy and herbal undertones, and sometimes a hint of game or leather.
  4. Caladoc: A hybrid grape (a cross between Grenache and Malbec), Caladoc contributes vibrant color, moderate tannins, and a mix of red and black fruit flavors. It also adds a bit of spice and herbal notes to the blend.

Overall, a red wine made from these four grapes is likely to be well-balanced, with a rich and complex profile.

ABOUT.
A heritage red blend, named after the winery’s landmark belltower, that harks back to the founding Jesuits who made it in the same concrete tanks in which the grapes are still fermented to this day.

GRAPE VARIETIES

Carignan, Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Caladoc.

WINEMAKING

The grapes are hand-picked, harvested and destemmed. The Cinsault is shortly vatted to keep the freshness, the Caladoc and Mourvèdre are kept longer time to extract the aroma and spices, while the Carignan undergoes long skin contact to achieve length and elegance. After malolactic fermentation, the juice rests in cement tanks for 14 to 18 months before blending.
