Product notes

Vines planted in 1998. Sandy soil on alluvial terraces, 100 m over sea level, dry/arid Mediterranean climate.

Production notes

Harvest by hand between the 3rd and 28th of March. Fermentation in stainless steel with no added yeast and soft handling of pump overs. Malolactic fermentation in wood. The wine is unfiltered to preserve all its quality and might present sediments. 18 months of barrique aging, all French oak. The bottling took place on August 1, 2017.

Tasting notes

Dark ruby red color. High potential, red fruits aromas, fine spices, hints of native aromas. Juicy, balanced, savoury, the rich acidity with the well balanced tannins make it a wine of a wonderful structure on the palate. Serve with meat, game or wild boar. Generally with full flavoured main courses.
