Color

Deep ruby red with purple highlights by the rim.

Aroma

The bouquet is profound and intoxicating, balanced between balsamic and plant nuances, from the stalks and seeds. The fruit impregnates the nose, which is resolved with elegant spice, while the vanilla accentuates the roasted notes.

Tasting profile

Mellow in the mouth with intrigue provided by the blackberries, silky tannins and opulent structure. The finish unfurls into fleshy softness trimmed with gentle spices.

Food pairings

Game and aged cheeses. 

Winemaking notes

The fermentation and maceration, with frequent pumpover and dèlestage, take place in temperature-controlled steel vats for about 28 days. The wine is racked before the malolactic fermentation gets underway in large steel containers.
