MaturationThe wine was developed using a careful and precise method. After destemming and gently crushing the grapes, each grape variety was vinified separately. This approach allows for precise control over the development of aromas and structure. Fermentation and maceration were carried out in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of no more than 28° C and lasted for about 15-20 days. This control helps to maintain the intensity of the aromas and promote a balanced structure. After the first fermentation phase, half of the wine was transferred to used 225-liter French oak barrels. Here, malolactic fermentation took place, which is crucial in softening the acidity in the wine and giving it additional complexity and smoothness. The wine was also refined in these oak barrels, harmonizing the aromas further. The other half of the wine matured in stainless steel tanks, which preserves the freshness and fruit notes. At the end of the aging process, both portions were combined before the wine was bottled. The aging method ensures an impressive balance between fruitiness, acidity and woody nuances, which gives the wine elegance and versatility.

ScentIn the glass, the wine unfolds an impressive spectrum of aromas that immediately appeals to the senses. The nose is dominated by the intensity of ripe blackberries, which form a fruity base. This is accompanied by the refreshing scent of eucalyptus, which contributes a cool and invigorating note, while Mediterranean nuances, such as those of mint and lemon balm, blend in evenly and give the bouquet a certain complexity and depth. The freshness of the eucalyptus notes is harmoniously complemented by the tempting aromas of juicy sour cherries, which give the bouquet a fruity acidity and finesse. Delicate chocolate aromas add creamy, slightly bitter nuances that create a sensory bridge to the intense, dark tones of black currants. The aroma profile is rounded off by a velvety vanilla note, which ensures a harmonious balance. This sweet spice blends beautifully with the other aromas and gives the overall picture an elegant finish and a warm, inviting depth. The scent of the wine is comprehensive and tempting, and it invites you to discover the further richness and abundance of its aromas when the wine is tasted.
