Tasting Note:
Luxurious and incredibly complex on the nose, demanding many minutes of contemplation before tasting... and what a palate when you do! Beautifuly balanced with style, finesse and length, the mid palate is a riot of red fruit flavours, spicy oak and well integrated, fine grained tannin lasting well into its deliciously rounded, multilayered finish. Superb.
Vinification Note:
The harvest, carried out entirely by hand, is brought to the winery in small plastic boxes where each bunch undergoes a thorough selection process. Once the grapes are in the tank, maceration lasts approximately 6 days at 10ยบ. Alcoholic fermentation takes place with only natural yeasts. Punching of the cap and pumping over of the must take place during fermentation. After 15 days in tank, both the free-run and press juices are blended and racked before being placed in barrel. Maturation lasts approximately 18 months, at the end of which time the wines are bottled without fining or filtration.
