Winemaking
Harvested in early October 2016. Macerated in cold settings before a 15-day alcoholic fermentation at 25°C, followed by malolactic fermentation. Aged 12 months in stainless steel tanks and 6 months Burgundian French oak barrels. In spring, vines renewed their water supply due to high rainfall, preparing them for high temperatures and droughts during summer. Then, a combination of warm days and cool nights provided the best ripening conditions.
Tasting Notes
Fruity and floral flavors, with red fruit and currant aromas, highlighted by violet notes. The palate is supple and restrained on the tannins. Its fresh acidity underlines the fruity aromas.
