Overview

Maxville’s Petite Sirah is estate bottled. Complex and elegant, this wine is dense and ripe with chocolate notes and a clean, bright, and silky finish. Pair this Petite Sirah with grilled meats, game meats, and hard cheeses!

Aging

The wine spent 18 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which were new.

Fermentation

5-day cold-soak followed by a quick, warm fermentation. The tannic nature of the grape doesn’t lend to extended maceration; the pomace is pressed at 1.5 Brix only using the free-run juice for the final wine. Malo-lactic fermentation was done in barrel; the wine was racked once post-malo and once pre-bottling.
