Description

The grapes are dried on the vine for 15-20 days. This is followed by maceration and alcoholic fermentation for 8 days using selected yeasts at a controlled temperature of 24-26 °C. The wine is aged for 3 months in French oak barrels. The deep ruby red colour of the wine is revealed through aromas of ripe fruit, strawberry jam and blackberry. The complexity is enhanced by elegant, enveloping aromas of cocoa and tobacco. The palate is dominated by berries, with a juicy texture that gives the impression of a lingering aftertaste.

Serving recommendations

Serve at 14-16°C with pizza, vegetable and meat stew or chocolate desserts.
