Product notes

Soil: Monzogranitic Sands The estate's location between the mountains and the sea, combined with the area's clay-granite and sandy-silt geology, promotes a beautiful balance and concentrated juices.

Production notes

Manual and mechanical harvests in the morning. Vinification: One-week cold pre-fermentation maceration. 6 weeks of vatting under the grape pomace. Aging: 5 months of aging in concrete vats.

Tasting notes

Brilliant color with ruby ​​highlights. Aromas of black fruits (plum, raspberry, black cherry) with hints of toasted almonds. The palate is rich with fine tannins and a light cigar-like finish. Pairs well with grilled meats
