Grape Variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Alcohol Percentage: 13%
Viticulture: Natural Wine Producer & Certified Organic | Vegan Friendly
Climate: A Mediterranean climate with moderate summers and sufficient precipitation
Terroir: Mono Guyot, 25 year old vines
Ageing: Late grape harvesting, hand-picked with a short period between the picking and fermentation – 2 hours maximum. Fermentation begins in large tanks with natural yeast picked out from the same grapes harvested during pre-harvesting (5 %). Maceration takes place for 3 to 4 weeks till the completion of fermentation until the grape skin sinks to the bottom of the tank and clarifies the wine naturally. The wine is aged in big Slovonia oak barrels for 2.5 years and bottled with no sulphur or any other additives.
Color: The colour is uncompromisingly deep, with garnet tinges
Nose: The nose just confirms maturity, while remaining fresh and firm. Dark red fruits are still there but are joined by some leathery, undergrowth and tobacco notes
Palate: It is dry and a rather elegant style showing nice Cabernet verticality, tightness and stamina. Full-bodied with brilliant fruitiness of blackcurrants
