After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation follows during a couvesion of approximately 15 days. After pressing, all the wine goes into French and American oak barrels. It ages for 18 months in French and American oak barrels and 12 months in the bottle. Production: 6000 bottles.

Grape: Alicante Bouschet, Syrah and Aragonês

Tasting Notes: Elegant maturation without over-extraction, always with a balsamic background that elevates this medium-bodied blend to a very elegant and unusual level for the region. Candied black fruit is present throughout the tasting, which extends enveloped in notes of good oak aging that comfort the overall freshness.
