Grapes are harvested in mid October. Fermentation period and maceration on the skin, 11 days in stainless steel vats followed by 11 months in 225 litre French oak barrels.

Tasting and pairing

This wine has an intense ruby colour, the nose is full and varied, with notes of cherries, redcurrants and raspberries with a light sense of vanilla and liquorice. The taste is full and austere with excellent structure and textured velvety tannins and consistency. It also has an excellent persistence on the palate. Beef, veal, pork or game would pair well, also rich fish like tuna.
