Description

Reviews and awards:
94 points Wine Magazine.

Deep garnet in color and not very concentrated. On the nose it is very fresh and expressive, with nuances of red fruits and citrus, which combine harmoniously with vegetal and aromatic herb notes. On the palate it is ample and very seductive, with very fresh and original flavors, suggesting nuances of forest and wild berries, finishing very intense and persistent.

Winemaking:
Following a meticulous, hand colheita , the grapes are transported to the winery in 20 kg boxes. After a careful manual selection, the bunches are placed in a small French oak vat where only 30% of the bunches are destemmed and crushed. Alcoholic fermentation follows at 24-26ºC, with a light "pisage" (treading) and pump-overs done in buckets to achieve good but careful extraction. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine completes malolactic fermentation and ages in used French oak casks and barrels.
