The grapes are pressed gently with each variety vinified separately, then half of the wine is aged in 225 liter used barriques of French and Hungarian origin, while the second half is aged to stainless to preserve its fresh, bright style. Finally, the aged wine Is blended. The result is a delicious wine that resonates red cherry, currants, hints of green tobacco, wild herbs and a whisp of coastal freshness.
