Tasting Notes: The colour is a brilliant ruby. The intense nose is dominated by spicy and red fruit, strawberry, aromas. The mouth presents silky and fine tannins underlining the fruity freshness of this wine.
Winemaking: Each grape variety is vinified separately. The maceration lasts between 20 and 25 days. At the end of the winter, the wines are transferred into new 225-litre barrels where they are left for 12 to 16 months in the magnificent barrel cellar of l’Hospitalet, which houses around 2,000 barrels. The fine lees are periodically stirred. The finest barrels of each grape variety are selected and blended to produce this wine.
