Taste: Very powerful and structured on the palate, with a long finish and polished tannins. The aftertaste reveals notes of very ripe fruit, giving it a smooth finish.
PREPARATION: The harvest was carried out manually on October 12 and 13, 2014, in 10 kg boxes at dawn.
A few minutes later, a third selection was made, bunch by bunch, on the table. After this, the grapes were destemmed and crushed before resting in stainless steel vats of less than 5,000 liters. Alcoholic fermentation was controlled at 25°C, with punching down and pumping over every six hours during the 15-day fermentation period.
After this initial fermentation, manual racking was carried out, which ended with gentle pressing, beginning malolactic fermentation at a temperature of 21°C. For this second fermentation, the wine was placed in French and American oak barrels, where it rested for 11 months. After this, it was bottled and kept in the bottle for at least 36 months before being released to the market.
