Vinification and characteristics

The grapes are carefully harvested and the vinification is done by hand picking, which allows the ripest bunches to be selected.

There is some barrel aging involved, typically “large oak barrels” (and import sources mention different aging times, e.g. 3-6 months) to add some complexity without overpowering the fruit of the grapes.

Fragrance profile

The wine shows an intense aroma of ripe dark fruits such as black cherries, plums and blackberries.

There are also spicy notes and undertones of vanilla or light oak, which provide depth and warmth.

Flavor profile and structure

The taste is full and powerful , but with a good balance – the fruit dominates, but it is not excessive; the acidity is present and integrated, so the wine does not feel flat.

The tannins are described as ripe and soft , providing structure without being rough. The aftertaste is long with dark fruit and a spicy finish.

Food pairing and serving

Temperature: 16-18 °C is recommended to highlight aroma and balance.

Food pairing: Very suitable for red meat, grilled dishes, game, mature cheeses or also hearty pasta dishes with meat. A good match for intense flavor profiles.
