Reviews
James Suckling 90
This has a youthful nose of blackberries, tobacco and some stones. The palate is medium- to full-bodied and straightforward, with supple tannins, dark berry character and a subtle finish.

Tasting notes
Deep ruby in colour. The nose shows expressive notes of red fruits in perfect harmony with delicate
floral aromas. The palate starts in an engaging way, evolving into a wine of excellent volume that
poses a solid structure and silky tannins. The finish is fresh, balanced and persistent.
Serve at a temperature between 16 to 18 degrees celcius.
Vinification
Grapes are taken to the winery in 22 kg boxes. After a rigorous selection, the stalks are removed and
the grapes are crushed and transferred to stainless steel vats. The alcoholic fermentation takes place
at controlled temperature for 7 days.
