DESCRIPTION
Manually harvested in 12 kg crates. Once in the winery the grapes are put in cold storage until they reach a temperature of 4 degrees. The grapes are de-stemmed then put through a double manual selection process both at harvest time and in the winery to eliminate any stalks.
The malolactic fermentation is done in 225 litre French oak barreis. During the first 5 months, each barrel is turned twice a week in order to move the lees around to give the wine a rounder, softer palate. From May onwards it is left to rest so that the lees are pulled by gravity to the bottom and can be separated and drawn-off. The wine rests in barreis 16º for a further 8 months at until it is bottled.
Production: 20.000
TASTING NOTES
A deep, intense cherry red wine with violet rims.
An elegant nose that increases in intensity as it breathes.
Aromas of ripe red fuit and spices such as black pepper stand out, with deeper Toasted accents from 13 months ageing in French oak barrels.
At mid-palate it is a full-bodied, rounded wine with soft tannins due to correct ripening. It has a noteworthy acid-alcohol balance making it a very dense wine that is easy to drink.
It has a long, persistent finish due to the intensity of the fruit and toast aromas at mid-palate.
