Tasting Notes
Aroma
Quite intense nose with aromas of ripe red
fruit (cherry), red and black berries in combination with
refined floral (rose, mint) and mineral nuances.
Maturation
The wine has been aged for 30 months in large
oak casks and, only a small amount, in barriques. It was
bottled without filtration.
Appearance
Medium-intense ruby red colour with light
garnet hues.
Palate
Medium
to full-bodied on the palate, well-balanced. The tannins,
ripe soft and silky, are well integrated in the wine's fruit
structure. The wine shows overall an incredible finesse
and great complexity. Long final with good freshness.
Vinification
Hand-picked on September 30th, 2018,
the grapes have been destemmed and gently crushed
before bringing them into stainless steel tanks for the
alcoholic fermentation. They have spent about three weeks
in contact with their skins. This time includes the pre- and
post-fermentation maceration, using the traditional submer
ged
cap method. Malolactic fermentation takes place in
wood.
Food Matching
Stewed and roasted meats, wild game
and seasoned cheeses.
