Production notes

First a cold pre-fermentation maceration at 8˚ C during 5 days to extract as much as possible of color and aromas. Then the two varieties were fermented separately at a controlled temperature of 25˚ C. Prolonged during 19 and 24 days respectively. Ageing 13 months in new French Allier oak barrels.

Tasting notes

Intense deep ruby with black tones. Great aromatic intensity and complexity with the explicit presence of preserved red fruit well balanced with the touch of toasty notes from the oak. On the palate it is soft and oily; with great amplitude and strength that marks its structure. Intense aroma of forest fruits combined with spices and toasty notes from the barrel. Persistent and pleasant aftertaste. Serve at 16 – 17ºC.
