60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot

 

Aromatic and fruity. This has yellow fruits, lychees, some grapefruit and a spicy element from new wood. It has weight, without being heavy, the fresh fruit lifting all the flavors.

 

Grapes are manually harvested and macerated, 20% whole-bunch, in stainless steel vats for 21 days with regular pump overs. Malolactic fermentation takes place separately: 50% of the fermented blend is aged in new oak for 12 months, while 50% continues to age in stainless steel.
