Ageing: 11 months in 225 L French oak barrels.
Tasting notes

On the palate, the wine is velvety and well structured, with the oak integrating harmoniously with the fruit. The finish is long and persistent, carrying through the same aromatic profile.
Food Pairing: Red meats, game, flavourful dishes and cheeses.
