Harvest is performed between March 25th and April 5th of each year. Processing: Fermentation is done in steel tanks : Continuous Remontage and Pissonier is performed, in order to obtain softer tannins and great color. The second fermentation is also performed in steel tanks and the rest in French oak barrels. The wine is then transferred to French oak barrels, where it is aged for 8 months, in order to obtain more clarification, and improving its color. Bottling: Is done after a mild filtering over natural earth,in order to eliminate any impurity.\u00a0 Tasting notes: Intense dark color. with a raspberry-like aroma and a complexity associated with this noble grape. Fresh, well-balanced, with gobs of dark fruit, great acidity, and mature tannins, unctuous and elegant. In the mouth it is profound and round, fleshy, with soft but potent tannins.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I Tre Vescovi Barbera d&#8217;Asti from Italy ($18.99)<\/strong> &#8211; A wonderful Barbera from VVS, \u201cThe Three Bishops\u201d is a testament to the quality of this winery, and at a wonderful price.\u00a0 A step up from Kroara, this Barbera from the smaller Asti zone is both fruit forward and pleasing, and complex. A very nice wine to enjoy with meat or mushroom based pasta sauces, or with a plate of mature cheese.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Live Jazz Thursday Night!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ron and Keith are bringing their guitars back tonight to play some more great Jazz!\u00a0 They will start around 7:30.\u00a0 It will be another great night of wine and Jazz at Chateau La Vin!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Like us on Facebook!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a great day!\u00a0 Live Jazz tonight, an Argentinean and Italian wine to taste, and they even started work on the patio today!!!\u00a0 I also got in three of my very favorite wines today!\u00a0 A very special collection.\u00a0 Stop in and I&#8217;ll tell you more&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=519"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":523,"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519\/revisions\/523"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
