season of six months duration. The annual rainfall is 720 mm concentrated
between April and September. Loamy soil, lacking in fertility, with a deep bed of

Vinification

The grapes were hand picked and were not crushed on reception at the winery;
the clusters were only destemmed.
The whole berries had four days of cold maceration prior to fermentation and ten
to twelve days of maceration at 25ºC after fermentation. Selected and native
yeasts were used during the fermentation, which took place in tanks of 40,000 Lts.
Spontaneous malolactic fermentation took place in tanks.

Tasting Notes

A deep red color with beautiful violet hints. On the nose it is a complex wine with black fruit on one side and white fruit such as quince on the other. In the mouth it has a great volume with strong tannins but silky on the palate. Juicy and fresh with a long finish.

Food Pairing

Red meats. Barbeque, braised Lamb Shank with mint sauce and rustic potatoes, pulled pork sandwich with BBQ sauce.
