Long lasting finish with hints of fruit, spice and cocoa.

- Vinification
- Traditional, 100% de-stemmed. Fermentation controlled between 28 and 32º C with indigenous yeast selected from our own vineyards. Extended maceration on the skins for 8 days, with two pump-overs daily in the beginning. During the maceration, the pump-overs are reduced so as to avoid the extraction of the bitter and vegetative characteristics. AGING. Barrel: 26 months in American oak Bordelaise barrels. Age of the barrels: 25 % new oak, 75 % maximum of 3 wines. Racked regularly every 4 months during the first year and every 6 during the second.
