Wine making: Traditional vinification in stainless steel temperature controlled vats for 15 days. Ageing occurs in oak barrels for 14 months.

Cellaring potential: Drinking very well now, however will develop and reward if cellaring for 10 years or more.
Our Tasting notes: This wine offers a very deep purple colour. On the nose a pure expression of fruit with notes of mint, spice and chocolate. Complex layers of fruit and tannins with delicious feel. Extremely well balanced and ideal for aging. Faboulus wine at this price.
