Tasting Notes
Intense aromas of blackcurrant jelly, black raspberries, and Black Forest cake are intertwined with subtle hints of cedar, lilac, pencil shavings, and crushed rocks. On the palate, it presents a medium to full-bodied profile, featuring ripe, finely grained tannins and a vibrant core of crunchy black fruits, in a lingering mineral finish.
Production
From September 19th to October 7th. Hand harvesting in several passes, according to the level of maturity of the plots. Meticulous sorting in
the vines and in the vatroom. Gentle vinification by infusion. Cold maceration.
Maceration period from 30 to 35 days decided by daily tastings. Aged in barrels and casks.
