Aromas of blackberry, black cherry and raspberry with hints of toasted cedar, warm spices and cocoa powder.
Deep purple colour.
Complex wine, with bright acidity complemented by deeper notes of black fruits, mocha, white pepper and wild sage. The tannins are silky and smooth, with refreshing acidity combined with excellent structure.

GROWING SEASON
The 2021 growing season was moderate and consistent. Due to drought conditions, we observed slower bud growth, so we provided extra care and attention to the vines by managing canopy and crop loads. Shorter bud break, combined with below average fruit set, resulted in lower yields compared to last year. However, quality was very high overall!
