The bunches underwent a preliminary selection in the vineyard, and only those with ideal ripeness were picked. The grapes were then transported to the cellar, where they underwent a second inspection on a selection table. They were then gently destemmed and any unripe or dehydrated berries were discarded. The perfect grapes were crushed and deposited into stainless steel tanks and cement eggs, where they underwent a 5–7-day pre-fermentation maceration at 10ºC. Alcoholic fermentation took place with native yeasts and 4 pumpovers per day, ending with a post-fermentation maceration for approximately 10 days. Oak treatment: The wine was aged for 16 months in three types of containers: 37% in French oak barrels (15% new), 53% unroasted French oak Foudre, and 10% in concrete eggs.

 

Tasting Notes:  Bright cherry red in color, this wine presents a complex nose marked by notes of plums, blackcurrants, and violets. The palate is delicate, fresh, and crisp, with tremendous structure and vivacity and ends with a long and flavorful finish.
