HARVEST – VINIFICATION: |
When they are harvested, the grapes are carried to the vinification tanks, after a light crushing and de-stemming. When the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are over, the wine ages in barrels for 12 months. Afterwards, it is lightly filtered and bottled. The wine stays at the winery and ages in bottles for at least 2 more years. |

ORGANOLEPTIC FEATURES: |
|
|
|
|
|
The choice of our best barrels has given us an excellent result. A wine with long-ageing potential with a strong bouquet. The aromatic character of Cabernet Sauvignon is finely shaping with the ageing aromas in the new oak barrel. Its strong tannins give a fixed structure, so that it withstands the long ageing, while the ‘sweet’ tannins of the rest varieties give depth and volume.
