Tasting Notes
Vibrant purple, violet in the glass. The aromas are fruit forward; ripe red cherry and light violet notes. The tannins are supple and refined on the palate with primary fruit dominating and a fresh balanced acidity.
Method
Tempranillo grapes are hand harvested and brought quickly into the winery. Fermentation and maceration in temperature controlled tanks to preserve aromatics. The wine is then aged for two months in concrete tank followed by 225 l French oak (80%) and American (20%) barrels for 6 months.
