Pre-fermentative cold maceration for 5 days, with alcoholic fermentation occurring at 27-29ºC for a deeper colour and better structure. Smooth pump overs happen once a day at the winemaker's discretion. Post-fermentative maceration for 2 weeks. Then the wine is separated from its lees and malolactic fermentation ensues.

Finning and filtration

Once the wine has fermented it is smoothly clarified and cold satibilisation occurs when necessary.

Aging

Aged in American and french oak barrels for 10 to 12 months.

Winemaker's notes

An intense violet red, on the nose the wine is intense and displays notes of spices, black fruit and dark chocolate. In the mouth it has smooth tannins and a long finish.
