Malolactic fermentation was applied to enhance texture and mouthfeel. No fining agents were used. Tasting notes The wine displays deep red and purple hues with a complex, layered aroma. Cherry and blackberry notes are complemented by subtle hints of liquorice, cigar box, and mocha. The palate is full-bodied and vibrant, with a balance of ripe fruit sweetness and integrated oak, culminating in a long, satisfying finish.
