The nose is fruity – lots of ripe fruits, cherry cola, with a hint of pears and caramel. It has a dusty, earthy aroma that keeps you interested long after your glass is empty. The gorgeous aromas are echoed on the palate. The texture is super smooth, soft, and balanced. Not too acidic or tannin.
The grapes were hand-harvested into 15 kg crates. Fermentation took place in 1000 L open vats with 20% whole bunch. After 20-days maceration and after pressing into stainless steel tank to ensure that ferments are dry and to perform malolactic fermentation, the wine matured for 12 months in 2 and 3 year old 225 L barrique barrels. The wine is not filtered or fined. It shows the ripeness and balance of the vintage.
