The harvest took place under ideal weather conditions, in the second week of September. The grapes were duly selected, destemmed and partially crushed, followed by the fermentation process over 15 days, concluded with 8 days of maceration. This was followed by malolactic fermentation and aging in French and American oak barrels for 18 months.
Deep ruby color. With a concentrated aroma of black fruit, with elegant notes of mocha and vanilla coffee. In the mouth, it is enveloping with good freshness on the palate, evident fruit with great complexity. Velvety tannins, long and persistent finish. A promising wine of great longevity. Serve between 16ºC to 18ºC with prior decanting. Subject to creating a deposit.
