Winemaking | Upon entering the winery, the grapes go through a double-selection belt system to band and vibrant. A cold maceration at 8°C is performed for five days. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, close to 30ºC. The wine (80%) then goes into second-use French oak barrels where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and rests for eight months. Once placed in the bottle, it is stowed for a minimum of three months, until reaching the optimum point of consumption. |
Tasting notes | Intense maroon red color. It has notes of red fruits (raspberry, blackberry) pepper, herbs and spices (jarilla, thyme, rosemary) and mineral (graphite). Ideal for pairing with tomato-based dishes, vinegar-based sauces or rich legumes such as beluga lentils, game meats, empanadas, stews, etc. |
