Appellation

Harvest

2012

Fermentation/Maceration

The grapes are harvested in late March and early April. Stripping is performed with gentle crushing. A pre-fermentation in cold maceration is made to preserve primary aromas. The concentrated juice is then cooled; and then, traditional fermentation is made. The post-fermentation maceration lasts between 10 and 15 days. Then, malolactic fermentation occurs. Aging in French oak barrels during 12 months.

Tasting notes

Deep ruby red color. Expressive and spicy on the nose with aromas of black pepper, graphite and cassis. On the palate we can feel black fruits and gentle tannins. Compact and long finish.

Pairing

Ideal to combine with roast beef, spicy rost chicken and cheddar and blue cheese.
