At the cellar

After the wine is pressed, it undergoes its secondary (malolactic) fermentation. It is then matured in barrel with pumping over of the lees to add fullness and mouth feel. It therefore matures in the cellar for about 30 months in total prior to bottling.

Notes

Deep red colour with a complex and intense nose that reveals aromas of ripe red and black fruits along with vanilla and spice notes. Supple, rounded and rich with silky tannins. Plenty of body and persistency.

Pairing

- Red meat, served with a sauce, grilled or stewed
- Game
- Cheese platter
