Aging: Aged in French oak barrels.

ABV: 13.0%.

Vineyards: Guadalupe Valley and Ojos Negros Valley.

Winemaking: These red varieties are harvested by hand at their optimum stage of ripeness in order to retain their freshness and preserve the red fruit aromas. The grapes are immediately transferred to the winery for manual sorting and afterwards the juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 23-25°C (73-86°F).

Barrel aging is done to minimize the impact of oak and enhance the fruity profile on the nose. Its barrel aging allows it to soften its tannins making them silkier.

Best served from the year of release up to five years.
