The grapes are harvested by hand at the peak of phenolic ripeness in mid-September. The grapes are picked into 20kg boxes and transported quickly to the winery, guaranteeing the preservation of quality. After total destemming, fermentation takes place in a temperature-controlled press, followed by foot treading for better extraction of color and aromas. The process includes post-fermentative maceration and malolactic fermentation in new French oak casks.<\/p>\n
The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak casks and a further six months in the bottle before being released onto the market<\/p>\n
It has an intense ruby color The aroma has a striking profile with notes of ripe red fruit, floral nuances and toasty and spicy touches from the ageing in wood The palate is full-bodied, intense but well-balanced with fruity notes of chocolate and mint The acidity is well integrated, giving a persistent finish<\/p>\n
The alcohol content is 13.5% with a total acidity of 5.92 g\/l and a pH of 3.55 Reducing sugars are less than 0.6 g\/l.<\/p>\n
For best conservation, it is recommended to store in a horizontal position away from direct light in a cool place with some humidity As it has not been glued or stabilized, it may create deposits over time The expected lifespan is 10 years.<\/p>\n
