This wine reveals a very intense nose where notes of blackberry and blackcurrant are expressed. The palate, ample and warm, reveals supple and silky tannins.
Gentle soaks using new-generation tanks that keep the cap down in the Juice, promoting extraction of silky skin tannins. Substantial investments into microbiological research to select the best native yeasts. Aged for 14 to 18 months depending on the vintage.
