Comments of the cellarman
Deep color with cherry glint. Fragrances of oak barrel and dry apricot.
Full-bodied and woody wine with grilled flavors. Long aromatic
intensity.

Vinification

Traditional wine making process includes fermentation between 24°
and 26° Celsius in order to extract color and develop a deep structure
in mouth.
The Cuvée 400 is only produced during an exceptional vintage.
Mourvèdre and Syrah are aged in new oak barrels during 24 months.
