The wine opens with vibrant aromas of red berries and a subtle spiciness from green peppercorns. As it evolves, layers of tobacco and leather emerge, adding depth and complexity. The mid-palate reveals a plummy richness, which is beautifully balanced by soft, velvety tannins on the finish.
Individual grape parcels were crushed and fermented in open-top stainless-steel tanks with regular punchdowns (4-5 times daily). Followed by extended skin maceration.
The wines were then racked (transferred) to a combination of 1st, 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels, and left to mature for 20 months. Maturation: 30% in NEW, 1st-fill French barrels, 70% in 2nd and 3rd fill barrels, for 20 months.
