Grape Variety

Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, Merlot, Syrah

Vinification

Each varietal (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, Syrah) is carefully hand-selected and sorted under strict supervision by the enologist. Harvest and collection takes place in wood boxes to ensure the grapes arrive to the winery as untouched and fresh as possible. Elaboration of each variety is done separately. Malolactic fermentation takes place in new American oak barrels followed by 12 months aging. This process is finalized by blending all 4 grape varietals to fully achieve the wine maker's objectives.
