Other curiosities
A limited production wine harvested from meticulously selected small vineyard lots (3 ha/7.4 ac) on hilltops (190 m/623 ft) that are estate grown and carefully farmed. The grapes are handpicked and sorted at harvest time in order to create unique, artisan-style wines that reflect the craftsmanship involved in hands-on winemaking.
Exceptionally rich and dense dark ruby-red. Extremely intense nose of cherries preserved in liquor, compote of sour cherries, and redcurrants, with overtones of vanilla, cocoa and coffee.
Finely balanced, rich in sweet tannins, well structured, elegant. Round and supple, with a smoky note of grilled beef mixing with lightly sweet and juicy flavors of roasted plum, bay leaf and blackberry puree. Full body.
