Tasting notes
A bright, intense and full-bodied ruby-red colour. The bouquet is elegant and complex, with fruity hints of blackberry and plum immediately apparent. Mediterranean aromas, including hints of juniper and myrtle, soon emerge. Last but not least, scents of coffee bean and liquorice appear before vanilla rounds things off. The attack is utterly splendid, with silky-smooth tannins that caress the palate. Soft and fresh. The finish is long and it has a fruity after-taste.
Vinification
The grapes were carefully harvested and delivered to the cellar. Afterwards, they were de-stemmed and mashed in steel tanks. Fermentation took place at a controlled temperature.
Ageing
In second- and third-passage French oak barriques, followed by several months in bottle.
Food pairing
Excellent with meat dishes and mature cheeses.
