Harvest

Vinification
Either destemmed or with a proportion of whole clusters depending on the vintage. Cold maceration for 3 to 5 days, temperature-controlled fermentation, gentle punch-downs and 2 to 3 pump-overs per day. Total vatting time: 18 to 20 days depending on the vintage.
Ageing
14 to 16 months in French oak barrels, 35 to 40% new. Bottled at the estate.
A generous wine with good substance and a balanced structure, surrounded by a gourmet and fleshy fruity taste. The nose is spicy, with raspberry and cherry hints, together with a touch of liquorice. The mouth is very rich with elegant and velvety tannins, and has a persistent finish.
