Vinification 
The Fermentation was done in micro-fermentation tanks, at ranges of 26°C and 28°C for seven days, to continue with maceration for a period of another 30 days. Finally, it was aged in French oak barrels for 10 months, to be later bottled.

Aging Process
100% of the blend was aged in French oak barrels, first use, for 10 months.

Aging Potential
It can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the bottle for 10 years. 

Description of the Wine
It surprises with its aromatic complexity. It reveals without inhibitions aromas of fruits such as cherries, strawberries, plums and dried figs. In the mouth it is juicy, fresh, tasty and round, with a balanced natural acidity. Notes of dried fruits such as walnuts and hazelnuts provide elegance and style to a unique and enjoyable wine with great aging potential.
