Vinification: The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully vinified with gentle extraction techniques adapted to each grape variety and the characteristics of the vintage.

The wine is subsequently aged for approximately 12 months in French oak barrels, with around 35% new oak, enhancing its complexity while maintaining the purity of the fruit.

On the palate, the wine is lively and refined, displaying impressive depth, fine tannins and excellent balance. Subtle hints of powdered cocoa complement a long, fresh and harmonious finish.
