Winemaking:

Grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, and hand- sorted. Cold soak lasts for 3–5 days, followed by a 14 day of fermentation with three daily pump-overs during the peak of fermentation with an additional 12 days of extended maceration to optimize the flavor, mouthfeel, and tannin structure of the wine. Once drained and pressed the wine is transferred to French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and ageing. Aging last for 22 months in 100% French oak (40% new).

Tasting Notes:

On the palate, the wine displays excellent structure and balance. Ripe black fruits dominate the palate, providing a burst of flavors reminiscent of blackberries, dark cherries, and plums. The wine's firm tannins lend a pleasing grip, contributing to its age-worthiness. Notes of dark chocolate, toasted oak, and a hint of baking spices add layers of complexity and sophistication to the wine's profile. The acidity is vibrant, offering freshness and ensuring a long, elegant finish.
