TASTING NOTES

Clear wine, deep violet red, aromas of currant, blackberry, fig, chocolate, pepper and floral notes of violet. Complex, voluminous and fresh, toasted oak barrels, rich tannins and a persistent finish, revealing all the storage and aging potential.

VITICULTURE

The vineyards are planted on red or yellow soils, non-calcareous, normal (non-alkalized), with schist or greywacke materials, benefiting from a Mediterranean climate with large thermal fluctuations and hot and dry summers. After careful canopy management during the growing season, the grapes were hand-picked and transported to the winery in small crates.

WINEMAKING

The grapes were sorted manually, destemmed and underwent pre-fermentation maceration. Fermentation itself was carried out in “Lagares” and stainless steel vats with temperature control.

AGEING

After undergoing malolactic fermentation, the wine spent 12 months in oak barrels. Once bottled, the wine was then aged for a further 3 years in our cellar. In order to maintain its unique characteristics, this wine has not been stabilised and may create sediments naturally.
