Cluster Flock Abaaassimento Reserva is bold in flavor yet highly approachable. It makes an excellent companion for red wine lovers in social settings. A perfect match for marinated meat skewers, herb-stuffed grilled fish, and also pairs nicely with mild cheeses.
The Cluster Flock brand began as a white wine, but its success compelled us to craft a red counterpart. The grapes were harvested after the usual picking time, then cold-macerated for 24 hours before undergoing a 14-day fermentation in chilled stainless steel tanks at 24–26°C. After fermentation, the submerged grape skins remained in contact with the wine for another 28 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in American oak barrels. By that point, the sheep roaming the vineyard had nothing to do with the process—just the grape skins. But baaah, what a wine it turned out to be.
