The wine
The blend consists of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, using grapes sourced from vines that grow on land belonging to the family's estate and which were planted by them when they took over in 1988. Trained on wires, these vines are set on terraces in clay-loam soil at an altitude of 700 metres.
A red colour with purple hues, and clean and bright in appearance, the wine's nose exhibits an aroma of black fruit, coffee, tobacco and green peppers. The palate is well-structured with plenty of persistence.
Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Aged for 18 months in French, Hungarian and American oak barrels.
