About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from estate vines aged 15–25 years, planted at 250–320 metres above sea level on northwest- and southeast-facing plots.

Vinification

Alcoholic fermentation is initiated by natural yeasts in steel tanks at 28–30 °C.

Ageing

The wine matures in large oak casks for 36–48 months, followed by 12 months in the cellar after bottling.

Tasting profile

Elegant and powerful, with an easy-drinking character.
