Alcohol: 14% Vol

 

Vinification:Grapes were destemmed,meticulously selected on sorting tables, delicately crushed then transferred by gravity flow into vats. It was imperative that only the finest berries reached the 60 Hl truncated cone shaped fermentation tanks. During fermentation and maceration on the skins, it was essential to maintain the right balance between fruit and quality of the tannins enhancing their sweetness and aromas, especially important taking into consideration the peculiar nature of this vintage. Once the wine and skins were separated, malolactic fermentation occurred in small oak barrels to enhance the complexity and pleasantness of the wine.Aging took place in new French oak barrels for approximately 18 months. The different lots were first barrel aged separately,then blended and continued to gracefully evolve in the barrel completing the aging process.

 

Colour:Deep ruby red color

 

Bouquet: Its nose is impressive with intense notes of dark, ripe fruit with scents of blackberries, black currants with balsamic hints of fresh mintand myrtle. Its bouquet is completed by refined spicy aromas of white pepper, toasted cinnamon and cocoa powder.

 

Taste: Its palate is rich and mouth-filling; soft, velvety, vibrant tannins impart a lengthy finish and persistent aftertaste where toasty notes reappear and accent the finish.
