The grapes grow on barren limestone soils at an altitude of over 400 meters, where cool Pacific winds ensure slow ripening. After traditional vinification in American oak barrels, this wine has aged in the bottle for almost three decades – a process that gives it additional depth and finesse.

On the nose, a complex bouquet of blackcurrants, cedarwood, tobacco, and subtle spice notes unfolds. The palate reveals an impressive structure with silky tannins, ripe fruit, and elegant minerality. The finish is long, complex, and remarkably fresh – a testament to perfect ripeness.
