Winemaking
After careful selection of the plots whose fruit will be used in the coupage of this wine, grapes are harvested at their optimum ripeness and undergo careful alcohol fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks with a long maceration of the skins to obtain the their maximum aromatic strength and concentration.
The wine’s subsequent aging in French oak barrels for 12 months and in bottle for another 12 months result in its refining and balancing before being sent to market.
Pairing
This wine is recommended to accompany fine cuts of beef, cheese and small game.
Serve at 16° to 18°C. We recommend uncorking or decanting for a while prior to tasting to fully appreciate its virtues.
