Other curiosities
A limited production wine harvested from meticulously selected small vineyard lots (3 ha/7.4 ac) on hilltops (190 m/623 ft) that are estate grown and carefully farmed. The grapes are handpicked and sorted at harvest time in order to create unique, artisan-style wines that reflect the craftsmanship involved in hands-on winemaking.
Deep ruby-red color, leaning towards garnet with aging. Full nose with hints of small red fruits, such as redcurrant, black raspberry, ripe black cherry, and subtle spices and dried herbs. Balanced on the palate with elegant and very persistent tannins. Full body.
