Tasting Notes:
Notes of dark fruit and spices. A very elegant taste of smooth wood. Well structured with fresh notes and long silky tannins.
Vinification:
The grapes are gathered in small bins and immediately taken to the winery and cooled to a temperature of 15ºC. They are then separated, crushed and deposited in a fermenting vat of French oak. Fermentation takes between 8 days at a temperature of 26ºC. Pumping over is carried out 4 or 5 times daily for 15 minutes. After alcoholic fermentation the wine is placed in 225-litre barrels of French oak, where it aged for 20 months and another 8 months in the bottle.
Suggested Pairings:
It pairs really well with refined meat served with gravy or spicy fish dishes.
