VINIFICATION
Grapes sourced from slow and balanced ripening. Only the finest bunches were selected. Vinified with care using the classic skin-contact method. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with temperature control (26-28ºC) for 7 days. 20% of the blend aged in French oak barrels for 18 months. Bottled in December 2023.
CHARACTERISTICS
The wine exhibits a brilliant clarity, with a mediumintensity cherry-red color and moderate tear persistence. The nose is pronounced, featuring notes of cassis, pine needles, and subtle hints of forest floor, tomato, and tobacco leaf.
On the palate, it is dry, with a refreshing yet well-balanced acidity. It has a light alcohol content, a delicate body, and firm, green, and dry tannins. The retronasal perception aligns with the nose, enhanced by herbal and balsamic nuances. The finish is of good intensity, pleasant, and well-balanced.
This wine has an aging potential of approximately 10 years but is ready for immediate consumption. Regarding food pairings, it pairs well with spiced roasts (lamb and duck), charcuterie, and aged cheeses. Serve at 16ºC.
