Tasting notes
Beautiful ruby red colour. The nose displays aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry combined with some notes of vanilla. With age and in some vintages, touches of leather will mingle with truffle and spices. On the palate, the tannins are refined and create a seductive harmony. The aftertaste reveals delicate touches of wood.
Vinification
Harvesting by hand and transportation in small crates to preserve the fruit. Sorting of the grapes two times – in the vineyard and at the winery. Maceration and vinification take 2 to 3 weeks. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Maceration and fermentation temperatures are under strict control in order to completely manage the process of extraction (extraction gives colour and substance to a wine but should never be detrimental to its finesse and typical character).
Ageing
In French oak barriques (20% new) for 14 to 18 months.
Food pairing
Excellent with various roasted meats, barbecue, game, soft cheeses, pasta and risotto with pesto, mushroom or tomato sauce.
