WINEMAKING

Grapes picked by hand. Pre-fermentation at 14 ºC. Fermentative maceration during 3 weeks and male lactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Soft ageing  in 300 litters medium toasted French oak barrels for eight months.   

TASTING NOTES

Dark cherry colour with violet reflections. Clean and very bright. Dense and abundant tears.

Mellow and seductive nasal aromas with a medium-high intensity. Its notes of very ripe fruit and jam (prunes and blueberries) stand out on a background of earthy notes and aromatic herbs

It is direct at the attack and shows a good, light and silky mid palate. A well-bodied wine with a good tannic sensation and a refreshing acidity. Long finish with a marked persistence. A joyful, casual and lively red wine.
