Description

Deep ruby in color, up front aromas of blackberries and cherries are complemented by gentle oak spice. Gentle on entry, the palate is medium to full-bodied, vibrant, and youthful. With well-structured tannins, the wine concludes with a lengthy finish.
Sorting happened both before and after destemming. Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tronconic tanks. Gentle punch downs by hand, pump-overs and ten days of post fermentation maceration enable a soft extraction of colour and tannins. Matured in combination of 20% new French Oak 400 litre barrels and stainless steel.
