This wine comes from the grape varietials cabernet franc (80%), merlot (17%) and tempranillo (3%), harvested in the first days of September. The wine is fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks while pumping over the must up to 8 times a day. Maceration is done in contact with the skins during several days after completing the alcoholic fermentation. After the malolactic fermentation, the wine is transferred to barrels of American oak (85%) and French, where the wine remained for 7 months. It was bottled in June of 2006, with a total production of 18,000 bottles.

TASTING NOTES
Intense color, almost completely opaque. Powerful bouquet, with notes of mature black fruits and some floral undertones. The body is full and round in the mouth, with well balanced acidity, well structured tannins and a grand finish.
