Tasting Notes: This is a glittering deep red wine, with purple tinges. It shows all the characteristics of the high altitude terroir.  Tannins are mild and round. Intense nose, plenty of red fruit, plumbs and berries. This wine is ready to be enjoyed. A very versatile wine, ideal to pair with lots of alternatives, but best with red meat, pasta with tomato sauce and cheese… of course better if shared with friends.

 

Wine making process: Prior crushing, grapes were hand sorted.  Slow alcoholic fermentation. Fermentation at low controlled temperature (20ºC) produced by selected yeasts. Extended Maceration (25 to 30 days) and 100% of the juice went through malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tank.
