VITICULTURE

Hand tending, careful selection, and minimal interference in the natural ripening of the grapes. 

 

WINEMAKING

De-stalked grapes – Cold pre-fermenting maceration for 3 days to extract complex aromas (at 12°C / 54°F) - Alcoholic fermentation in vats with punching of the cap twice a day (temperature carefully controlled to reach 27°C / 81°F at the end of the fermentation) – Malolactic fermentation in vats. Aging in contact with oak for 3 months. 

 

TASTING NOTES

Bright and brilliant ruby red color. Fruit-forward with aromas of fresh cherries and pomegranate. After swirling, it reveals whiffs of forest floor, tobacoo, and wild sage. Tart and fruity palate. The mouth-filling acidity delivers backbone and length to the spicy finish.

 

PAIRING

Tomato-based dishes, spicy food, Mediterranean dishes, paella, white or red meat, risotto, or grilled tuna. Best served between 14°C and 16°C / 57°F and 61°F.
