Lively, deep, dense red colour that tints the glass and the tears running down its sides. Deep, delicate aromas of wild forest flowers and the fresh breezes of the high plains mingle harmoniously with ripe tropical fruit characters. Mineral touches reminiscent of underground limestone rock come through against a backdrop of spicy and smoky notes. Hints of just-picked grapes appear on the palate along with fresh tannins that are yet to become fine and polished. Mouth-filling on the palate with a fine-grained texture; the full ripeness of the grapes shows through, followed by a long, lingering finish. The grapes come from the winery’s highest vineyard, at 930 m of altitude. It’s a blend of Tinto Fino (75%) and Merlot (25%). Hand harvested grapes. Aged in new French oak for 15 months.

Food Pairing: barbecued beef brisket, ratatouille, ribs, moussaka.
