Production notes

The vines are trained in the vaso system and undergo vigorous Canopy management and green harvest during the maturation process. Vinification process begins in the vineyard where only the most perfectly mature bunches are selected and harvested into small boxes to prevent crushing. And taken to triage tables at the winery. The selected grapes are placed into small stainless-steel tanks. The must is basket pressed. The wine was aged in new French and American oak barrels (16 months).

Tasting notes

Deep red colour, scarlet rim. Cedar vanillin top notes are followed by aromas of black fruits and a hint of molasses. Initial impressions of rich, sweet fruit juxtaposed with gun-flint mineral, bright acidity and soft tannins.
