Fermentation occurred in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, preserving the fruit’s freshness and aromatic intensity. Post-fermentation, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation to enhance its texture and complexity. A portion of the wine was aged in French oak barrels, imparting subtle oak nuances without overpowering the fruit character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eChâteau Paradis Casseuil 2020 presents a deep ruby color.
