About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit was hand-harvested from a combination of young and old vines.

Vinification

After gentle pressing, the crushed grapes fermented for 30 days in Slavonian oak vats.

Ageing

The wine matured for two years in barriques, followed by one year in large oak barrels and six months in stainless steel tanks.

Tasting profile

Bordeaux-inspired in style, the wine has a vivid, open character. Richness is balanced by freshness, with excellent structure and a sublime finish.
