TASTING NOTES

This wine is built for the fresher and more youthful palate. Hand-harvested Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon come into the cellar and begin a natural fermentation in stainless steel, but are only with the skins for two days before a gentle pressing, making for a lightly extracted red wine that is more focused on the fruit instead of the tannin and structure. The result is absolutely delightful to drink, vibrant and expressive on the nose with aromas of spice, black cherry, and strawberry. The palate echoes the fun and fresh aromas, with the fruit and acidity dancing in the mouth, leaning it towards the ‘chillabe red’ category of wine. -Importer's Notes
