MORE INFORMATION:
The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness and the different components were all fermented and aged separately. Aging in French and American oak barrels took place and adds complexity, structure, and subtle oak-derived flavours to the wine. The wine spent 14- 16 months in barrels . The choice of new or used barrels and the length of aging depends on the desired balance of fruit expression and oak influence. The winemaker skilfully combines different grape varieties and individual barrels or tanks to create a harmonious and well-integrated blend.

On the palate layers of flavours unfold, revealing a dark fruit sensation of ripe blackberries, juicy plums and hints of blackcurrant that provide a luscious sweetness, while the subtle influence of spice adds depth and complexity. The wine's well-integrated tannins offer structure and a silky mouthfeel. Enjoy this blend as a companion to hearty dishes, grilled meats, or flavourful cheeses, allowing its richness and complexity to unfold with each sip.
