This wine is mainly produced with Merlot grapes. After a maceration of approximately 30 days at 28°, at the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel containers. Subsequently the wine is placed in French oak tonneaux, half new and half 1 year old, where it remains for approximately 16-18 months. Once bottled, the wine ages for another 12 months.

In the mouth it is powerful and warm, with good tannins, smooth and elegant. Overall it is a wine with great structure.
Perfect in combination with game and stews, it is ideal to accompany mature cheeses.
