Vinification in stainless steel with maceration for two weeks. Fermentation takes place under a controlled temperature. Malolactic fermentation takes place in 1st and 2nd use barriques, and then the wine ages in French oak for 6 months. Intense ruby red, verging on garnet in time. Fruity when young, with enticing raspberry aromas, grows more and more complex with bottle age. Full and flavorful, with gobs of sweet plum and cherry fruit.
