About this wine

Vinification

After harvest, the grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in tanks for two weeks under temperature control, with daily pumping over.

Ageing

Part of the wine matures for one year in new barriques, while the remainder is kept in stainless-steel tanks. The two portions are then blended and bottled.

Tasting profile

Elegant.

Serving and pairing

Pairs well with red meat, game, barbecue, grilled vegetables and mature cheeses.
