Tasting note

An intriguing nose of oatmeal cookies, vanilla and leafy berries, which combine well with the sweet red and black berries, licorice and chocolate found in the mouth. The finish is dry, with cherry, cedar and fine grain tannins.

Vintage 2013

Great year. Temperatures that were lower than normal and a rainy spring. Dry and hot summer and autumn. The harvest was carried out two weeks later than usual, with very good balance between sugar, acidity and phenolic ripeness. Harvesting by hand into 10 kg crates. Grape by grape classification using a double selection table.
