Winemaking
Grapes are de-stemmed and cold-soaked for 24 hours before pressing. Vinification in stainless steel tanks, after which the wines are moved to mostly used American oak barrels (about one out of eight new).
Aging
Neutral American oak casks for three months.
Nose
The varietal aromas stand out, with a background of red fruits, and certain notes of oak from its time in wood. Bitter cherry, pepper, volcanic soil tones, tree bark and a lovely array of sweet botanicals.
Palate
On the palate, it enters lightly, evolves marking a correct balance of flavours, and closes with a soft and pleasant bitterness and a long final persistence in which the varietal characteristics continue to stand out.
Appearance
Cherry red colour with violet edges in the middle, clean and bright.
