Production notes
Fermentation at a controlled temperature with a maximum of 28°C and maceration for 15-17 days with frequent pumping over and fulling. Fining obtained in oak barrels of small capacity (20 hl) for minimum 24 months, followed by a 6 months refining in bottles

At first binding and full, the tannins blend in well with the fruity component. Long lasting taste, which expresses itself in excellent depth.
