These wines have intense colors, great fruit expression (cherries, plums and prunes), sweet and soft tannins. Excellent for making both young wines and wines with barrel aging. It is a varietal that showcases our terroir very well and performs fantastically. Small batch production. This wine has 22 international medals, including a gold medal at the International Bacchus competition.

TASTING NOTES

Its clean and bright wine with a medium dense ruby red & purple hues

NOSE 

On the nose it is frank with high intensity. Dense notes of plums, bing-cherries, blackberries & blueberries. Floral undertones of lavender & violets alternate with notes of vanilla, elegant oak and the subtle note of leather on the background. It is of high quality aromatics with multiple layers, closing with typical & desirable varietal notes of dark licorice, slight smoke and mineral graphite.

PALATE

The attack on the palate is soft & voluptuous. Tannins are silky and give a rounded balanced body. It is dry, fresh and embracing. Remarkable fresh acidity and well integrated alcohol.
