The vines for this Tannat wine thrive on hillsides with rich soils—a blend of clay, silt, and gravel—and benefit from a southeast-facing exposure. The winemaking process combines harvesting at peak ripeness, cold pre-fermentation maceration, and controlled fermentation. Aging for 15 to 18 months in concrete tanks softens the tannins while enhancing the fruity aromas. The result is a velvety texture with a refined structure, reflecting meticulous work at every stage of production.
