Tasting Notes

Deep purple color, liquid velvet, with a sunning length and complex mouthfeel, as layers of creamed plum, wild blackberry, and steeped black currant along, intervention with black tea notes, mulled blood orange, incence and native forest touch. Evident and massive structure, has melded wonderfully.

Winemaker’s Notes

The grapes were handpicked in extremely small, selected parcels, from high density vines in our Los Lingues Vineyard. Coming from parcels D2 for Carmenere, E2 Malbec, E1 for Cabernet Sauvignon, G1 for Cab Franc, F4 Merlot, and C3 for Petit Verdot. Vinification is conducted in 600L barrels to get a gentle extraction of aromas, flavors and tannins. The wine was aged for 24 months in separate lots, and blended all together by gravity to a concrete egg tank, where AUMA was aged for another 9 months prior to bottling.
