WINEMAKING
The grapes are distempered, cooled and placed in tanks of Stainless Steel, where after a soft maceration in cold they are inoculated by yeasts selected of French origin. The alcoholic fermentation lasts approximately between 7 and 10 days to temperatures that do not overcome the 25-27º C, this in order to preserve the own fruit of the wines.

TASTING NOTES
This is gorgeous, streamlined, modern cabernet. Blackberry and tobacco flavors held together by mocha and mineral notes. The fruit really pumps through the finish, offset by mineral note that adds further dimension. Impressive.
