VINEGROWING

VINlFICATION

Fermentation and maceration lasted for a total of 19 days and were performed in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 28ºC. Later on, the wine was racked into new Allier oak 225-litre casks where the malolactic fermentation took place, followed by a stay on lees for a little over two months, with regular batonnage.

AGEING

This wine was racked into new oak barrels, where it remained for a six more months. After these, the rest of the oak ageing up to the total 29 months took place in different barrels, Allier and Missouri, all with medium toast, and with different ages spanning from brand new to 5 years.

After fining, the wine was bottled and stored in our bottle cellar for 43 months, before it started to be released.

TASTING NOTES

This wine shows a shiny dark garnet colour

To the nose, at the time of release, blackberry and strawberry aromas unfold wrapped up with spice and cedarwood notes. Over time, bouquet has developed aromas of prunes and smokiness.

Elegance is the first term that comes to mind when considering mouthfeel, with a pleasantly long finish.
