Complex red berry flavors, rich and intense, living along vanillin finish.
A truly exquisite wine.
Winemaking
Grapes are picked as cold as possible and gently crushed. Fermentation is carried out in small temperature controlled stainless steel open fermenters.
Maceration lasts for 8 to 10 days. This is followed by malo-lactic fermentation and once completed the wine is matured in a mix of French and American oak classic barriques for 6 months.
Appearance
Intense, dark ruby red almost purple, showing the rich and concentrated appearance.

A wine like this is an excellent accompaniment to red meat and lamb.
To fully enjoy the smoothness and flavors, let this wine breathe for at least 30 minutes before drinking - better if decanter is used.
