Climate

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. The berries were saturated with color and aromas, without losing acidity.

Vinification & Ageing

Harvested in early October 2016. Macerated in cold settings, before a 15-day fer- mentation at 25°C, followed by malolactic fermentation. Aged 18 months in stainless steel tanks.

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.
