“I hate to say Goodbye” is the last part of a juice from a devatting of Carignan 2019. The juice had a color between dark violet and deep black and was close to be undrinkable.
For that reason, we kept the juice apart for some time and by chance we had some Grenache Noir left which turned out to work very well with the Carignan and it created a new balance in the wine.
We left the wine in old barriques for about a year before bottling and then another 18 months in bottles. We now find the wine ready to be drunk and to say goodbye to us.
