by and ageing for 12 months in French oak barrels.

French oak barrels for 12 months.

Tasting Notes: It has an attractive aroma, with notes of
fruit that overlap the oak ones. It shows surprising acidity,
striking structure, light astringency and delicate retronasal
aroma that gives a long and seductive finish. A wine that
tastes more than the aroma!
