  • Visual - Very intense cherry ruby colour.

    Palate - Rounded with body and soft tannins, focused on fruit and a long finish.

  • Vinification Process:

    • Harvesting: The grapes are hand-harvested into small 20 kg boxes to ensure the fruit remains intact and of high quality.

    • Destemming and Maceration: After total destemming, the grapes undergo cold pre-fermentation maceration to extract color and primary aromas.

    • Fermentation: Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks with temperature control, accompanied by gentle daily pump-overs to enhance flavor and tannin extraction.

    • Post-Fermentation Maceration: A long post-fermentation maceration follows to further develop the wine's structure and complexity.

    Aging Process:

    • Lees Contact: The wine remains on its lees until spring, which contributes to a richer mouthfeel and complexity.

    • Oak Aging: A portion of the wine is aged in second-passage French oak barrels for 12 months, imparting subtle oak nuances without overpowering the fruit characteristics.

    This meticulous vinification and aging process results in a well-structured wine that balances ripe fruit flavors with soft tannins and a long finish.
