Tasting Notes: Duo is brilliant ruby-red in colour. On the nose, it shows aromas of ripe red berries and mineral notes, reminiscent of volcanic iron. The palate is long and refined, with a lingering, mineral-driven finish. The wine is tight, pure, sinewy and vibrant.

Winemaking: Vinification with selected yeasts took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. During alcoholic fermentation, techniques such as délestage and remontage were used to enhance extraction. The fermentation lasted approximately two weeks, with post-fermentative maceration on the skins to enrich the wine’s structure. After racking, malolactic fermentation occurred naturally in stainless steel tanks. Once complete, the wine was left to refine in stainless steel for about three months before the first racking. The wine continued to age in steel for a minimum of 10 months and underwent further refinement in the bottle for an additional 12 months, ensuring optimal balance and development.
