Organoleptic description:
The liquid crunchiness. The secret of her beauty doesn’t instantly bloom by the nose, where she hides herself, but it’s in the mouth where she exudes. The thick skin rich of tannins confers to the wine a unique taste: dried fruits, smooth tannins and a long, persistent, mineral ending. After a sip we get the perception of crunching the wine.
Vinification:
The maceration begin in big barrels of oak for 60 to 90 days. Finished the fermentation it gets aged in 20 or 30 hl barrels for 3 years and rest for 1 year in the bottles.
The presence of sedements is essential to keep the wine alive and to conserve it.
We recommend to serve the wine with service temperature at 15°C (59°F).
