Description The grapes are hand picked on the first week of October. After destemming, maceration occurs for 10-12 days at the controlled temperature of 28°C. Malolactic fermentation takes place in steel vats. This is followed by the ageing process─ at least 12 months─ partly in small oak barrels and partly in tonneaux. Assemblage takes place in steel vats. Fining, if needed, is carried out using egg white. Coarse filtration precedes bottling, followed by bottle ageing of at least three months.

Wine - Food Affinities A perfect companion for red meat dishes, roasted or braised game and mature cheeses. Serving temperature: 18°C
