ELABORATION
First, a pre-fermentative maceration is carried out for 3 days. Then, the fermentation is done in tapered stainless-steel vats of 20.000 litres with light daily overpumpings. Once the alcoholic fermentation is complete, maceration is extended with the skins for 5 days. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine is transferred to French oak barrels for 24 months. The wine is then bottled and aged for a minimum of 16 months until it is released to the market.
TASTING NOTES
- Visual phase: Intense purple-red colour, with a russet rim denoting its long barrel ageing.
- Bouquet: Blackcurrant with hints of cedar and cherry aromas mingle with tobacco and herbs.
- Taste: Sweet fruit flavours with sour cherries. Very well structured wine in terms of acidity, astringency and alcohol and harmonious, that is good ratio of grease and structure.
- Aftertaste: Long and fruity character.
