Tasting Notes:
Dark rubi colour with intense aroma and flavour of plums, blackberries, figs, violets and dark chocolate with subtle woodnotes. This wine has ripe tannins harmoniously balanced between acidity and alcohol. It has aged for three months in equal proportions in new barriques of French (Allier), American and Portuguese oak. It has a long smooth finish.

How to serve:
A perfect wine for pasta, barbecues and red meat dishes, it is also good on its own.

Vinification Method:

Fermentation up to 30ºC in the first 2/3, and lowering down to 20ºC during the last 1/3.
