Elaboration: The different varieties are fermented separately at a temperature of 26 ºC. Maceration is long, followed by the malolactic fermentation. Once this process is completed, we proceed with the 'coupage'. After that, we keep the wine in French and American oak barrels during the next 12 month. Afterwards, it is bottled and aged for 4-6 months into the bottle.

Characteristics: Dry red wine, with a complex bouquet mixing the aromas from both the grapes and the oak. In the mouth it is fleshy, velvety, full and round. Ripe.

Recommendations: Drink at temperatures between 16 ºC and 18 ºC, up to 15-20 years after elaboration.
