Production Details Predominantly high-density vineyards at 8,000–10,000 vines per hectare; no insecticides, weather-limited treatments, very low exclusively organic fertilizer inputs, vigour and yield control, leaf thinning and green harvesting. Grapes are harvested by hand, sorted, crushed and partially destemmed. Temperature-controlled fermentation lasts about three weeks in open tanks with regular punching down and pumping over; malolactic fermentation occurs in barrels with natural yeasts, followed by 18 months of barrel maturation.
Tasting Notes Intense and refined; ripe black fruits, white pepper, spice, wild notes and delicate wood; fleshy, dense palate with graphite freshness and depth; firm, broadening tannins
