Tasting notes
A red colour with bright highlights. A harmonious nose with notes of vanilla, candied fruit and sweetness. Lovely roundness on the palate, with aromas of wild berries, redcurrant, vanilla, pepper, blond tobacco and cocoa. Pronounced but well-integrated tannins. A powerful, concentrated wine with good length.
Winemaking: The grapes are harvested at night to prevent oxidation. In the cellar, the grapes are crushed and destemmed. Cold pre-fermentation maceration is followed by four weeks’ maceration, during which the must is subject to pump-overs, racking and aeration until optimal, balanced extraction is achieved. • Age of the vines: around fifty years. Yield: 40 hectolitres per hectare.
