Vinification – Maturation

Classical method for red wines, extended skin contact for 20 - 30 days at controlled temperature of 24°C to maximize the aroma. There follows malolactic fermentation and the maturity in oak french barrels 225 lt each, made by Bertomieu Tonnelerie. It is bottled without stabilization or filtration, so any amount of sediment is quite normal.

Ηarmony

Ideal combination with spicy sausages, grilled meats with barbecue sauces, lamb in the hull with herbs and spices and ripe cheeses.
