Colour: Intense ruby red colour.
Bouquet: Lots of ripe cherries and red berry flavours on the nose.

about the harvest: Grapes are picked at optimum ripeness at around 24 °B.

in the cellar : Fermentation on the skins for a maximum of 4 days until enough colour and flavour is extracted. Grapes are pressed at 8°B to obtain softer wines and malolactic fermentation is completed as soon as possible. Final blends are made prior to bottling to give the final product the best flavour, colour, taste and complexity.
