Grapes: 100 % Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.

Harvest: Harvesting is performed manually and the grapes are transported in small trays to the cellar in order not to damage them.

The grapes are sorted meticulously prior to vinification.

Vinification : Traditional methods of production are used in the winery:

Fermentation is carried out with natural yeasts under strict temperature conditions with a long maceration period (30 days).

Once the vinification is complete, part of the wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.

Following traditional fining with eggwhites, aging continues in the bottle.

Tasting notes: A very fruity and rich wine. This Cabernet Sauvignon shows a remarkable combination of wild berries, vanilla and chocolate on the nose. On the palate, very elegant tannins and greatly balanced concentration fill up the mouth with pure emotion.
