Velvety. Spicy. Fruity. Full-bodied. Intense.
This is an exceptional example of a manually harvested wine. The grapes are carefully selected to create a premium flavor experience that pairs beautifully with flavorsome foods — red meat, game, sauces, cheese, Asian cuisine, dark chocolate, as well as rice and risottos.
With round, velvety notes, this wine keeps unfolding as you taste, a mark of a special drop. Masterfully blended with flavors of plum, cherry and morello cherry, it will delight your palate with a variety of tones including dried fruit and tea leaves.
Vinification:
After harvesting at the end of September (depending on the vintage), the grapes are left to rest in the loft for 3 or 4 months. They're carefully spaced so that they dry in just the right way for pressing. The new wine is aged in oak barrels for a minimum period of 36 months.
