Ageing:

After malolactic fermentation the wine matured in new barrels of French oak barrels of 200 to 300 liters, for about 12 months

Vinification:

The grapes are harvested by hand, to boxes of 25 pounds at its ideal stage; aim being to present a vigorous maturity, leading to higher concentrations aromatic and polyphenolics. After gentle crushing and complete de-stemming, the grapes are fermented in vats, claiming that the quality components present in the skins of very ripe grapes, passed gently into the wine.

Tasting Notes:

Purple and with good depth, very complex flavors and distinct character dominated the fruity and floral notes with very fresh, the wood appears very discreet and well-integrated wine. On the palate shows fruit, complexity and a beautiful structure, with high level of tannins that give it a long mouth final. This balanced combination of power and elegance would certainly contribute to their potential for aging, so the wine will benefit from a few years in bottle.
