EXPERT NOTE
I'm loving the intense blue fruit that remains fresh all the time while fresh-herb elements lurk beneath. Very attractive roundness to the fruit, but that is well matched by lovely acidity and firm tannins.

WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTES
The grapes come from a vineyard located directly in front of the town of Casablanca, just 20 km from the sea. The grapes were manually selected prior to destemming and were deposite uncrushed into stainless steel tanks for a 7-day pre-fermentation cold maceration at 8ºC for better extraction of color and aromas. The alcoholic fermentation took place with native yeasts at 25º–26ºC with 2 short pump-overs per day to extract only the most elegant tannins and obtain fruitier, friendlier wine. The new wine then underwent malolactic fermentation naturally in French oak barrels and foudres. 15% of the wine spent 6 months in French oak foudres, 35% in previously used French oak barrels, and the remaining 50% was kept in stainless steel tanks to lend more fruitiness and complexity to the final blend.
