Ruby colour, with an intense red tone. The aroma is marked by ripe red fruits, especially cherries and redcurrants, with subtle shrubby notes from the barrel ageing, which add complexity. The palate is balanced, with fully integrated acidity and structuring, and gastronomic tannins. A persistent and balanced finish.

After passing through the conveyor belt, the grapes are destemmed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. After fermentation, the wine is aged in used French oak barrels (10 months). |
