Vintage: 2007

Vinification starts with a cold pre-fermenting maceration for 5-8 days, followed by an alcoholic fermentation with a controlled temperature. Frequent pump-over are made for each varieties to facilitate extraction in tannins and polifenoles. Finally, a long maceration takes place at approximately 25ºC, allowing the varieties to show their potential and maximum expression.

Aging: 100% in French oak barrels for 12 months.
Tasting Notes: The malbec brings red fruit and floral aromas while the syrah offers spicy notes. The softness of the Malbec blended with the tannins of the Cabernet Sauvignon and the structure of the Petit Verdot allow a complex and harmonious wine with a long finish.
