Causse du Théron `En Pente` Cahors AOC, from Cahors, France, is a vibrant Red (still) dry wine crafted entirely from Malbec grapes. After hand-harvesting, the grapes underwent fermentation at 28°C in cement tanks using ambient yeasts, spending 20 days on skins for extraction. The wine was then aged for two years in tank, rather than oak, to ensure the bright Malbec fruit shines through. This results in alluring aromas of black cherry, redcurrant and spices, leading to a long, scented finish unmarred by oak. This expressive wine pairs wonderfully with roasted beef, lamb, mature cheeses, or rich pork dishes.

Vinification
After being harvested by hand, the grapes from the En Pente vineyard underwent fermentation at 28 °C in cement tanks using ambient yeasts. The wine spent 20 days on its skins with careful pump overs to aid extraction. The wine was then aged in tank, rather than oak, for two years to add roundness and to ensure the bright Malbec fruit shines through the finished wine. The wine was lightly filtered prior to bottling. No fining took place.
