Winemaking and Maturation
In the months before the harvest, clusters are selected carefully and are picked when the phenolic ripeness is at its best. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks and is combined with long skin-contact maceration which last about 20-30 days, sometimes with submerged cap management.
Malolactic fermentation is carried out in stainless steel and concrete tanks. The wine is aged in big Slavonian oak barrels and French oak tonneaux for about 24-30 months. The wine ages in bottle before being released.
Tasting Notes
“Notes of spiced cherries, red licorice, nutmeg and hazelnuts. It’s tight and chewy with a full body and velvety texture. It’s steady and lengthy and need a few years to soften. Try after 2026.” – James Suckling
