Tasting notes

An intense ruby red colour. The nose is striking with its floral hints of violet and rose accompanied by red fruits such as raspberries and sweet spices. In the mouth, the wine is balanced and elegant with an almost creamy texture supported by silky and well-integrated tannins. Spicy notes accompany the persistent finish.

Vinification

Fermentation takes place in cement tanks at 28°C for 12 days. Maceration on the skins for 22 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in barriques.

Ageing

24 months in barriques: 80% new, 20% one year old.

Food pairing

Excellent on its own or with steak, game and ripe cheeses.
