Winemaking & ageing
Traditional wine-making in stainless still vats. Hand sorted bunches, crushed and destemmed grapes.
Ageing in concrete vats and french oak barrels. 

Tasting
Intense inky colour. On the nose, aromas of red and black ripe fruit (kirsch and wild
Blackberry) are dominant. The mouth is full, with aromas of blackcurrant liquor and spice. Tannins are both harmonious and elegant thanks to the fleshy of the wine. The end display hints of liquorice and vanilla, which give to the wine length and complexity.
