Description
- French oak
- Strawberries
- Tobacco & vanilla
- Soft tannins
Ruby red in colour with upfront aromas of fresh red fruit like strawberries, cherries along with dried fruit like figs, intermingled with subtle hints of tobacco and vanilla from the oak-aging. Smooth and balanced with tannins that lend the wine structure and a long finish. Lots of fruit. Super soft tannins.
A blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Carmenère.
Once at the winery, the grapes were destemmed and gently crushed. Then they underwent a pre-fermentative maceration in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 12°C for 3 days. Next, the alcoholic fermentation took place for 7-10 days at a temperature no higher than 26°C in order to gently extract the tannins during the fermentation period. Finally the wine was aged; 20% in contact with French oak for 8 months (to lend it elegant notes of toffee, almonds and vanilla), while the remaining 80% was kept in stainless steel tanks to retain the fruity component.
