Colour
Deep garnet-purple
Bouquet
Refined and layered, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and ripe plum. Notes of violet, graphite, cedar, and vanilla unfold gradually, with hints of baking spice and cocoa.
Flavour
Silky and structured. The tannins are polished, supporting a rich core of dark fruit. There is freshness and precision, with well-integrated oak adding depth without overpowering the fruit. Long and elegant, showing cassis, dark chocolate, espresso, and subtle spice. The finish is persistent and balanced, with a fine mineral touch.

Description

Grape: 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8.5% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 4.5% Merlot and 1% Malbec

Winemaking:

The wine was aged in new French oak barrels for approximately 18 months, followed by extended bottle ageing before release.
This process adds layers of complexity, including notes of cedar, spice, vanilla, and cocoa, while allowing the tannins to integrate and soften. The oak is finely balanced, supporting the fruit without dominating it.
