Tasting Notes
Brilliant garnet-red color. Complex and intense, with aromas of very ripe black fruit, enhanced by kirsch and spicy notes. Superb substance and concentration, full-bodied, well-structured, with length and finesse on the palate and a deliciously licorice finish.
Vineyards
The grapes come from vines that are 50 years or older. They are trellised in the traditional Goblet style.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested manually, in whole bunches, and are destemmed prior to crushing. Semi-carbonic maceration takes place, and fermentation is conducted at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks.

A silky and delicious red that has notes of blueberries, dried flowers, slate and oranges. It’s medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and a supple finish. Drink now or hold.
