Special characteristic

Fermentation in stainless steel followed by maturation for 18 months in large oak casks and small oak barrels.

Intense notes of cherry, rose petal and spice on the nose. Wonderfully light entry on the palate. Concentrated flavours and finely structured tannins then emerge. This is a full-bodied wine with a noble minerality that leads into a long finish.

Vineyards at a range of different elevations (from 350 to 650 metres above sea level), comprising mineral-rich soils that are farmed with the utmost care in harmony with nature.
