The grapes are hand-picked and completely de-stemmed without being crushed. The wine is fermented in open stainless steel tanks and brewed for about three weeks. It is aged in old barrels for 10 months. The deep garnet color speaks to the quality of the wine. The aroma is complex and attractive. It features black fruits such as blackcurrant and blackberry, spices such as violets, black pepper, and licorice, as well as smoky nuances.

Owning & Enjoying

Tasting notes
Deep ruby in color, when poured into a glass, the wine first releases gorgeous aromas of black fruits (black cherry, cassis) and violets, which over time develop into black pepper, licorice, and an earthy minerality.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the concentrated fruitiness, along with the smooth tannins and moderate acidity.
The spices and roasted aromas from the barrels tighten the aftertaste, leading to a supple, elegant, long finish. A wine that already exudes a high level of perfection despite its youthfulness.

Pairing
Herb-grilled lamb chops, roasted duck with berry sauce,
Beef stew with black pepper
