Winemaker Notes

Pleasant, clear ruby red with dark reflections. In the nose scent of wild berries, tobacco, spices and forest floor. On the palate juicy, elegant with good length and structure.

Grown on rare limestone soil with heavy topsoil of loam and clay. The vines are 18 to 42 years old. The grapes were hand harvested and destemmed. Before pressing, the grapes were macerated for 14 to 21 days to extract all the flavors and aromas from the grape-skins into the juice. The juice was fermented in big and small oak-barrels. Afterwards let on lees for almost 12 months after fermentation again in oak-barrels to gain even more flavor and complexity.
