- Nose: Aromas of red fruit (blackberry) and black (ripe plum) smoked, toasted. Aromas of medium intensity, main aromas of cedar and roasted, green pepper, with the fruit very covered. Certain mineral reminiscences.
- In mouth , is medium-bodied, predominantly red fruit, spices, tannin well-worked, silky and elegant.
Elaboration and aging: Made with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Merlot grapes aged 25-30 years, with clay soils, limestone and calcite. Harvesting is done mechanized. The fermentation is carried out in small capacity concrete tanks to maintain the authenticity of the selected plots. The aging is 15-18 months in oak barrels.
After the maceration, the must starts the fermentation naturally, then the remounts are frequent until the end of the fermentation. The wine is raised in vats where it is subjected to racking according to need. The malolactic fermentation is always carried out naturally during the spring. The wine from the terroirs of clay and limestone is aged in oak barrels to add additional complexity to the final blend. The wine is bottled a year and a half after harvest.
