In the mouth it is textured, with noble tannins in gifts, powerful and with a well integrated acidity and a long end. The harvest took place in the third week of September. The grapes were harvested manually, for small boxes of 18 kg, according to a careful selection of the best grapes in the vineyard, followed by a second choice at the entrance of the winery. The grapes were completely destemmed for a small granite mill, where they macerated two days at low temperature, before beginning the alcoholic fermentation, with indigenous yeasts, under controlled temperature. The alcoholic fermentation lasted about 3 weeks, with slight homogenization by walking. Once the fermentation was finished, it was decanted into new French oak barrels where it remained for 12 months.
