Opulent and aromatic, the Reserva is layered with notes of black currant, cigar box, floral aromatics, and loamy iron laden earth and leather. Silky sweet dark fruits and cocoa fill the palate with the concentrated fruit and sinewy structure showing off the rich, plush character and depth of the Reserva.
The grapes for this wine were hand selected in the vineyard when they were harvested from two small sections at optimum ripeness on October 6 and 25 and then hand sorted twice in the winery to make sure only the best reached the fermentation tanks. Once in the tanks, the grapes sat cold a few days developing color, flavor and aroma before starting to ferment. The tanks were gently punched down and pumped over for 18 to 20 days to extract all the color, aroma and flavor from the grapes carefully, then the juice was drained and skins pressed before being filled into barrels. The wine finished a native malolactic fermentation in the barrels in about two months and was aged for 19 months in small French oak barrels (41% new) and bottled in May 2024.
