ELABORATION
Fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts. Once the fermentation is finished, it is macerated for at least 15 days. The aging is done in American and French oak barrels with an average age of 2 years and remains in them for at least 15 months. During this time, three rackings are made. Once cleaned, the wine is bottled, remaining in the bottle before going on the market for at least 8 months.
TASTING NOTES
Bright ruby red colour. Clean and complex on the nose, aromas of fruit well combined with fine oak wood tones that stand out notably. Good structure in the mouth, balanced and tasty. With great character and long persistence. Complex and elegant retro-olfaction, aromas of red fruit and touches of quality oak.
FOOD MATCH
Semi-cured sheep cheeses, red beef, roasts, stews and game.
