Bottled history:

How it is made

The ripe grapes are picked and vinified for red wine, with maceration of the skins for around 8 days. The fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 28-29°C, with frequent pumping over and délastage to fully dissolve the anthocyanins, giving the wine intensity and persistence. The wine is aged until March in temperature-controlled vats.
