This full bodied dry wine is the specialty of our winery. Planted at an altitude of 4,757 feet in a limescale clay soil since over 20 years, the vines are carefully treated, handpicked and stored to give the finest grapes. Aged then in oak barrels for at least 12 months, our Cabernet Sauvignon caresses your taste buds with its velvety tannins concentration.

Vinification

During the fermentation in conical stainless steel tanks, extreme attention was given to an extraction aimed at fresh and fragrant aromas, full colors, and supple, elegant textures and tannins. Once the wine had been run off its skins at the end of the fermentation, it was put through a full malolactic fermentation in oak barrels to fully bring out the finesse and expressiveness of the aromas. The aging process, which lasted approximately 12-14 months, then began and took place in 60 gallon French and Hungarian oak barrels, partly new and partly used once previously.
