Climatic conditions
2009 gathered all the conditions that outstanding vintages require! Rainfall was noticeably deficient, exceptionally high sunshine hours until the month of March, a very sunny Summer until September, allowing for the perfect ripening of the grapes and great concentration of aromas.
Tasting notes
Lovely garnet colour and purple tinges. Enticing nose with notes of cassis and spices. The bouquet is very expressive. The palate reveals a structured and balanced wine with silky and well integrated tannins

Winemaking
Following hand-picking and selection of the grapes on the vines, they are de-stalked and carefully sorted once more. Fermentation is carried out in temperature controlled stainless-steel or concrete tanks. After blending, the wine is aged 16 months in French oak barrels, 10% to 15% of which are new.
