Cold maceration at a temperature between 8 and 10 °C for 5 to 7 days. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks (24°-28°C) with plunging and rack and return (délestage). Once fermentation is completed, the wine is aged for 12 months in oak barrels, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation. After that, the wine is filtered and bottled. Before being launched into the market it is stowed in the cellar for at least six months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\" class=\"custom-html-container\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"global-button\" href=\"\/collections\/malbec\"\u003eBrowse our Malbec Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bodega Luigi Bosca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33334166552707,"sku":"113907","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/luigi-bosca-de-sangre-malbec-red-wine-whelehans-wines-dublin-wineshop.jpg?v=1762852398"},{"product_id":"ruinart-rose-champagne-ireland","title":"Ruinart Brut Rosé, NV","description":"\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e Classic Rosé Champagne from its creative home\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":961,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0}' data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Medium' in=\"\" is=\"\" to=\"\" fully=\"\" bodied=\"\" and=\"\" looking=\"\" pretty=\"\" vibrant=\"\" pomegranate=\"\" pink=\"\" with=\"\" orange=\"\" reflections=\"\" this=\"\" classic=\"\" ros=\"\" has=\"\" an=\"\" intense=\"\" aromatic=\"\" profile=\"\" red=\"\" berries=\"\" cherries=\"\" tangerine=\"\" blood=\"\" a=\"\" hint=\"\" of=\"\" rose=\"\" it=\"\" develops=\"\" more=\"\" exotic=\"\" notes=\"\" time=\"\" the=\"\" glass=\"\" attack=\"\" full=\"\" distinct=\"\" gliding=\"\" across=\"\" palate=\"\" flavours=\"\" strawberries=\"\" cream=\"\" yellow=\"\" peach=\"\" grapefruit=\"\" freshly=\"\" baked=\"\" bread=\"\" all=\"\" complimented=\"\" zesty=\"\" acids=\"\" creamy=\"\" mousse=\"\" slightly=\"\" sweet=\"\" spicy=\"\" finish=\"\"\u003eMedium to fully bodied and looking pretty and vibrant in pomegranate pink with orange reflections.

La Forge (named after the original 12th century name for the site) is made from a portion of the harvest that is declassified as premier cru, typically from the younger vines.

As tenant farmers, the Bernards profited from the social upheavals of the French Revolution, buying their first vineyard soon after the momentous event in 1794. This vineyard is still part of Château Beauchêne but today the property extends to 70 hectares, including vineyards representing three appellations, Châteauneuf du Pape, Côtes du Rhône Villages and Côtes du Rhône. All wines, however, are vinified and matured in Château Beauchêne. Michel Bernard remains in charge of winemaking, working with his wife Dominique Vergniaud and their daughter Amandine Bernard, to create and market their array of impressive wines including Le Terroir. Bernard believes that ‘the character of a vineyard results as much from the history of its terroir as from the personality of the winemakers who fashion it’. He is careful to minimise the use of pesticides saying that a vineyard must be allowed express itself without being forced. ‘Balance between the characteristics of the soil and the capacity of the grape variety, is the only way to preserve the true wealth of a vineyard through generations.’ \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/blogs\/wineries\/chateau-beauchene\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/blogs\/wineries\/chateau-beauchene\"\u003eRead More\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/blogs\/wineries\/chateau-beauchene\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/blogs\/wineries\/chateau-beauchene\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVIEW MORE WINES FROM CHATEAU BEAUCHENE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Château Beauchêne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39682150498435,"sku":"112144","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/Beauchene-chateauneuf-du-pape-Hommage-France-Wine-Whelehans-Wines.jpg?v=1706098977"},{"product_id":"glaetzer-annaparenna-shirazcabernet","title":"Glaetzer Anaperenna, 2019","description":"\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Quintessentially' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":961,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0}'\u003eQuintessentially Australian Shiraz\/Cabernet blend from old vines\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan is=\"\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Intensely' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":961,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0}'\u003eIntensely opaque at its core with a glowing purple rim and rich, brooding aromas of black fruits.
