Frequent, gentle pumping over took place during fermentation and maceration which lasted approximately 30 days.

Tasting notes: Bright red with violet reflections. This wine has a strong aromatic integrity with hints of cherry and sour black cherry mixed with spice and vanilla. Good structure, long and balsamic finish, mature tannins and persisting aftertaste.
