Winemaking:

Grown in small plots, the selected grapes are handpicked into boxes and arrive at the wine cellar in the morning. After 3 days of pre-fermenting maceration, alcoholic fermentation occurs in stainless steel open vats at 24ºC. The musts are hydraulically pressed and the malolactic fermentation takes place in new or one year old French oak barrels, where it ages during 14 months.

Tasting notes:

This wine has an intense garnet-red colour, with complex aromas of ripe black fruits, jam and vanilla. In the mouth it has a full volume, with elegant tannins is long lasting and persistent. It should be drunk at 16ºC complementing meat and game, oven baked dishes and ripened cheeses.
