Tasting notes
Lovely ruby colour. Nose shows a very complex aromatic range with oaky, fruity and spicy notes.
Powerful, complex and elegant, the wine is full bodied, with supple and well integrated tannins.
Winemaking
Following hand-picking, the grapes are carefully sorted once again at the winery. Fermentation is
carried out in temperature controlled stainless-steel tanks allowing slow fermentation at low temperature. The wine ages 12 months in French oak barrels, 40% of which are new.
Climatic conditions
Flowering of merlot was somewhat handicapped by cool, humid weather in June, which considerably reduced the yields from this variety. Otherwise 2010 fulfilled all the conditions for a great vintage, allowing to produce perfectly ripe grapes for every plot.
