Vineyard and terroir

Grapes

Ageing

The wine has 14% alcohol by volume. Production is 15,000 Bordeaux bottles, with 750 ml and 1.5 L Magnum formats available.

Tasting profile

The colour is intense ruby red with garnet reflections. The aroma is intense, persistent and refined, combining floral, fruit and spice notes with recognisable varietal character. The palate is dry, warm and soft, with good freshness, savoury character, full body and firm yet soft, unobtrusive tannins. Its enveloping, silky texture gives breadth to an elegant, balanced structure. The finish is long and persistent, recalling the spicy notes found on the nose.
