Andre Colonge Fleurie

Andre Colonge FleurieComing from a family run estate, involving three different generations, a Fleurie with a ripe palate of strawberries and pepper, which follows a classic floral nose. Juicy, fruity and luscious. Andre Colonge only uses one vinification style: semi carbonic maceration combined with whole bunch fermentation. This means that whole bunches of grapes are put into a tank and once the pressure builds the grapes at the bottom burst and release their juices

After fermentation the wine has some time to extract tannins out of the skins for two more days
