Enormous aromatic concentration with mineral highlights, spices and some notes of bitter chocolate and ripe fruits. A potent, elegant and smooth wine, with firm tannins and a great persistent finish.

Harvest

By hand to small cases of 15 kg

Winemaking

The bunches are de-stemmed and pass by a sorting table for an optimum selection of the berries. The grapes are then crushed before going to traditional shallow open marble troughs known as lagares, where they are foot trodden. Alcoholic fermentation is finished in stainless steel tanks, followed by 12 days post-fermentative maceration.

 

Ageing

In new American and French oak half barrels for a period of 12 months.
