DESCRIPTION
This exclusive and limited production wine shows a deep and intense red colour with an elegant and
delicate nose of mocha. Light attack followed by the oiliness of the Beluga. Lush palate, fresh fruit and
preserved fruit intermixed with layers of coffee beans, fresh bread and caramel. A never ending and
mouth- felling wine, impressive backbone intermixed with firm and muscular tannins.
GASTRONOMY
It is incredible with cured cheeses and any other full flavour meals.
WINEMAKING PROCCESS
Plot located in the slope, facing north. The soils are predominantly sandy with pebbles. The best
grapes from the plot were picked on last days of October and arrived to the winery with a perfect
phenolic and physiologic ripeness and were sorted at the tables. The wine fermented at a temperature
of 28ºC-32ºC and the total length of the maceration was 20 days. It aged for 24 months in new finegrain
medium-toasted Allier oak barrels.
