Winemaking
After harvesting, grapes are pressed and go through pre-fermentative extraction, remaining with their skins until fermentation is completed. The wine is then transferred to the cellar for maturation in new French oak barrels. It matures in the barrels for at least 2.5 years, is subsequently bottled and remains for the same amount of time in the bottle to develop the ideal balance. To preserve its flavour, the wine does not undergo stabilisation and filtering.

Flavour Profile
Deep red colour. Prominent aromas of white pepper, black fruits and hints of herbs mingle against a backdrop of chocolate and coffee. Complex in the mouth, balanced and fine with good acidity and elegant tannins. The after-taste is long and pleasant, with notes of spices and chocolate.

Ageing
Suitable for extensive ageing.
