Description

This wine begins with the discerning hand-picking of grapes. Then follows a natural fermentation in a cement lagar, with a portion of the grapes having been crushed and de-stemmed. Aged in old oak barrels for 20 months, unfined and unfiltered, this wine has elegance and structure. Leather and earthy tones are present with a lush, deep red fruit in those which invite you in. Soft, rounded tannins are velvety on the palate with mouth-watering acidity.

It's excellent with venison and pork medallions with apples; salmon or beef wellington as well as some cheeses with peppered notes, like a good, aged cheddar
