VINIFICATION

The grapes are gently crushed and destemmed. Fermentation takes place in contact with the skins for 5-6 days at a temperature of 26-27°C.

Maturation takes place in steel tanks for about 9 months and 6 months in the bottle. Bottling takes place in the summer following the harvest.

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE

Colour: clear, very intense ruby red with purple reflections, very consistent to the eye.
Bouquet: intense and fine perfume, decidedly complex. The entrance is very ripe fruitiness,of red fruit jam, which intertwines with hints of dried flowers and a decidedly importantspiciness of cinnamon, cloves and vanilla. The perceived ethereality makes theunderlying aromas hazy, some even difficult to identify because they are very fine andwell blended.
Taste: Dry on the palate, but with a warm and soft entry that contrasts a tannin that isimmediately present but not intrusive. Decidedly silky and slightly bitterish, itaccompanies the ethereal sensations left on the palate by this wine. The almost liqueur-like fruitiness of black cherry mingles with cinnamon and cloves supported by a lightbalsamic of mint. The almond is perceptible in the finish but surprises with its persistence.It does not lack freshness and is quite savoury. Decidedly robust, balanced, intense, fineand persistent. Ready for consumption but still with a very long shelf-life.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Its richness of flavour makes it ideal on main courses of meat, cold meatsand cheeses. Serve at 18°C.
