Overview

Following a careful selection of the grapes in mid October, the grape stalks are removed and traditional temperature controlled fermentation on the skins in stainless steel is applied for 10 days with periodic pumping over. The wine is aged for six months in 34hl French oak barrels. The cycle ends with a short bottle rest.

Ruby-red with violet undertones. Intense bouquet of ripe red fruit. Rich in fruit, lively, finely framed by oak spices.
