WINEMAKING
The wine is made using 15% whole cluster maceration. The other 85% of the bunches are de-stemmed and crushed. The must is macerated for 7 days at cool temperatures.
It is then fermented in open-top stainless steel tanks for 15 days at 29 ºC to extract more flavor and tannin, followed by a post-fermentation and extended maceration for 7 days.
The goal with these vinification methods is to make a wine of longevity.
The wine is aged for 16 months in oak barrels, 90% French and 10% American.
TASTING NOTES
Deep red. Aromas of dried red berries, cherry pit, pipe tobacco and vanilla; a hint of white pepper adds vivacity.
Coats the palate with smoke-accented cherry, vanilla and cassis flavors and shows very good energy and a seamless texture. The smoke and cassis notes carry through a sweet, subtly tannic finish that echoes the tobacco note.
