Description
Separated fermentation of the grapes with a cold maceration for 3 weeks. Both malolactic fermentation + aging for 14 months in French oak barrels (Boutes), fine-grained and lightly toasted.
Deep-red colour. The wine’s thick legs come to tint the glass, which gives an idea of its density. The nose is intense and delicate, with hints of wild black fruits, spices, balsamic notes, all wrapped in a soft touch of fine wood. The palate is smoothy, mouth-fulfilling and creamy, very elegant with a great fruity sensation. It is long and pleasant, with great balance.
