Tasting Notes

The wine's blend is 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. The vines have an average age of 25 years producing a yield of 45 hl/ha. The grapes are destemmed before the fermentations in stainless steel vats that will last 3 weeks for both Cabernets and 4 weeks for the Merlot at 28oc. As for the ageing process, the 3 grape varieties are aged separately in french oak barrels for 12 months of which 30% are new. After this initial period, the 3 grape varieties will be aged in stainless steel vats for a further 6 months allowing the wine to integrate the oak. After 18 months the wine is finally blended. - Importer Note
