Vinification

Manual harvest, followed by several weeks of maceration in tank with regular pump-overs and punch-downs. Gentle pressing and ageing on fine lees in barrels for 9 months. Bottled at the estate.

Tasting notes

Appearance: Deep red with garnet highlights.

Nose: Deep and refined, combining ripe morello cherry with sweet spice. With aeration, more complex aromas emerge — vanilla, tonka bean, and a subtle touch of toasted, well-integrated oak.

Palate: Generous and full-bodied on the attack. The wine shows power and character, supported by well-built, smooth tannins. A rich aromatic palette unfolds: ripe blackberries, spice, a hint of liquorice. Barrel ageing adds depth and texture, extending the palate without overshadowing the fruit.

Finish: Long and flavourful, lingering on notes of black cherry and cocoa.

Ageing potential

Can be cellared for up to 10 years.
