2018 Vintage

The vintage was marked by a fairly mild winter and a regular spring. In general, ripening followed the trend of a normal vintage. Red grape development was particularly interesting, especially for the Merlots, which presented an above-average cluster load. Harvesting began in the third week of August and ended in the first week of October. Quality was excellent for the white grapes, good for Merlot and exceptional for Cabernet.

Nice bright ruby colour. On the nose: floral hints and intense berry notes on an herbaceous background, with light notes of cinchona and cacao.
