Frequent remontage to optimise flavour and colour extraction. Malolactic fermentation for 15 months in French oak.

Tasting Notes: Deep ruby red colour. The bouquet shows rich, intense, ripe red fruits with hints of plum. The nose is underlined with toasted notes, smooth characters and vanilla flavours. On the palate, intense forward fruit combined with toast notes. Medium bodied and long lingering.
