Very complex on the nose, with aromas of red fruit along with balsamic and red licorice notes. A very Atlantic profile with earthy, mineral notes.
Tasting phase
On the palate this wine features a mouthwatering acidity. Well structured, outstanding tannins. Aromatic cerdar Wood and slighter bitter aftertaste waking it long and complex. Long life ahead
grape varietals
Tinto Fino, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec. Grapes are sourced from vineyard plots located at an average altitude of 750-1000 meters above sea level
harvest
Wettest spring since 1965. Mild temperatures and no frost led to an outstanding budbreak. Milder-than-normal temperatures in May and June made us think ripening would be in danger and yet the optimal temperatures in late July and August alongside some heat weaves brought the cycle forward. Despite of a rather wet spring and some summer storms the grape bunches sanitary conditions were not affected. The hottest September since 1965 with dramatic temperatura changes between night and day resulted in a perfect ripening and better than expected yield. The harvest began on October 2 and ended on October 30. Good weather during harvest resulted in healthy berries. Too heavy grape clusters are removed on the sorting table.
aging
12 months in 225 l French oak barrels sourced from different forests. Once ageing is over we got some 56 different wines depending on the vineyards they came from and the barrel they were aged in. These wines will be blended in order to get the final wine.
