Tasting Notes
Aroma
Pronounced concentrated aroma of ripe raspberry and red cherry fruit, combined with spicy and mineral notes and a touch of vanilla and toast.
Maturation
Barriques, big oak vats and steel tanks for approximately 18 months.
Appearance
Intense, deep ruby colour.
Palate
Full bodied on the palate, quite rich, with lush fruit that is well balanced with the acidity, good integration of oak and a long lingering aftertaste.
Vinification
The grapes were, after a short period of cold-maceration, fermented in stainless steel tanks for about two weeks. During this period a lot of mechanical punching downs, delestage and many open-air pumping overs have been executed. After this, the wine macerates for another week on its skins and is then racked to oak barrels for malolactic fermentation.
Food Matching
Hearty stews, seasoned pasta and poultry with rich sauces, game, roasted red meats and hearty cheeses.
