Tasting Notes:
With an intense ruby colour, this wine suggests black cherry aromas wrapped in hints of bitter chocolate. On the palate, the silky tannins and notable freshness balance the whole structure that leads us to a delicately sweet and long finish.
Vinification:
The harvest was manual, followed by a selection of bunches and grapes in the winery. After a slight crushing and a short period of maceration, the controlled fermentation at 25ºC begun in 1500 L wooden vats. At mid-fermentation, the “cutting” time was determined, during which the must was drained and wine brandy was added. The addition of wine brandy stopped the fermentation and left some residual sugar, which gave the finished wine the natural sweetness of the grape. The wine aged for 18 months in French oak barrels and for around 6 months in the bottle.
Suggested Pairings:
Excellent match for desserts prepared with bitter chocolate. It also pairs well with creamy and strong-tasting blue cheeses.
