Description
Deep ruby red with violet hues. The nose initially reveals aromas of black and red berries, such as murtillas,cranberries, black plums and raspberries. The palate has balanced acidity and avours of juicy black fruit, along with smooth, well-rounded tannins sustained by the notes of soft French oak.

Vinification
The grapes first underwent a cold pre-fermentative maceration to extract their colour and aromas. They were then fermented in open stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of between 24°C and 26°C. Manual pump-overs were used for 100% of the extraction during fermentation.
Maturation
100% of the wine was aged in 300lts French oak barrels for a period of 12 months. 15% of them were new, 30% second-use and 55% third-use.
Food Pairing
Best served at between 14°C and 15°C. This wine pairs well duck, with oily fish, pasta, creamy soups, different lean meats and hard cheese.
