The tannic structure is a prelude to the unyielding yet elegant palate, formidable and enduring.

Food pairings

Sublime with roasted meat and stews as well as lamb and game.

The fermentation takes place in temperature controlled vats, followed by maceration on the skins with frequent pumpover and délestage. After malolactic fermentation and refinement in the tank, the wine is moved into oak barrels.
