Tasting notes

Bright red colour with tile hues. On the nose, a marked spicy aroma reminiscent of black pepper, cherries, olives, herbs, truffle and leather. In the mouth it has a good structure characteristic of its base varietal (Cabernet Sauvignon), and a long and smooth finish due to its correct evolution.

The wine ferments for 14 days, at approximately 28 °C and the maceration lasts for 10 more days. The wine is aged for a minimum of 36 months in Nancy French oak barrels of 10,000 to 35,000 litres, each varietal separately. The blend is then made, where it continues its progress in stainless steel tanks, until the moment of being bottled. This wine evolves for 10 years, until it is released on the market, thus acquiring a very particular bouquet.
