Description

Years of hard work, dedication and an absolute obsession with quality have shaped this wine. This is our flagship wine and the passion, detail and science that go into growing and producing this wine is profound. A full, red color with brick reflections. The aroma is mellow and delicate, complex but not redundant with fine notes of chanterelles, ink and strawberry tree. With breathing the bouquet becomes almost ethereal and impalpable without ever settling to then close on a beautiful note of beech bark. The mouthfeel, compared to the previous giants, is almost pubescent, sinuous and very fresh.
