Product details
The grapes are harvested into small boxes and received at the estate's winery. Manual sorting is followed by destemming and gentle crushing, after which the grapes are transferred to the fermentation vessels using a peristaltic pump. The fermentations are followed individually and the temperatures and maceration movements are adjusted to maximise the potential of the grapes. A period of post-fermentation maceration is carried out to promote the extraction of tannins from the pips - complementary to the tannins from the skins - in order to favour structure and accentuate ageing potential. 80% of the blend is aged in second year French oak barrels for fourteen months.
Grape Varieties:
Alicante Bouschet
Tasting Notes:
Wide-ranging aromatic expression: forest floor, scrub, caruma and discreet notes of fennel, then giving way to black fruits (blackberry, blueberry), black plum and hints of liquorice. In the mouth some chocolate, mushroom/truffle and hints of smoke, showing the good integration of the barrel. Monumental in the mouth, with several layers providing fascinating complexity. Refined tannins combine with good acidity (discreet but present), enhancing the formidable structure. An eminently gastronomic wine with great potential for long storage.
