Production notes

Picking was carried out during the coolest part of the day.

The wines were aged in stainless steel and concrete vats, and then put in barrels for 13 months.

Tasting notes

Wine shows an exceptional color, density and beautiful bouquet. As the tannins had ripened very well on the vines, the long maceration time of 30 days produced a superb, balanced extraction of skin elements.
