Nose
Complex and delicate aroma, resembling mushrooms and red fruits.
Palate
Great density in the mouth, plus extra long and robust taste of jammy wild fruits. Rich and ripe flavours of Cranberries and Blackberries. It has the meaty, smoky, plumy flavours characteristic of the Tannat variety. The finish is long and generous.
Appearance
Seductive, intense purple colour.
Food Pairing
A very faithful ally of the "Asado" (roasted bovine meat creole cooked on an open fire of wild woods). Oven roasted red meats: lamb, pork, bovine. Pieces of game: wild boar, red deer, deer. Meat casseroles, pots and meat and dried peas stews. Creole stew. Pasta with strong sauces. Raw ham and sausages. Sharp cheeses of hard paste like Parmigiano. Great wine of strong structure, recommended to go with the warm family and friends meetings.
Aging
After pressing, settling, and racking, the wine is moved to cement vats for ageing and maturation. Malolactic fermentation occurs in the next 15 to 30 days.
Bottling
Following final racking the wine is assembled and, before the end of the year, is bottled lightly filtered and then laid down in our cellar for additional bottle aging. These wines may be consumed when released, but they will improve significantly with bottle age. With proper storage, these wines should be enjoyable for 5 to 10 years.
