Harvest: Manually collected in 18 kg boxes.

Fermentation:
13 days

Yes.

Oak ageing:
12 months (30% of the wine without oak in order to keep the best expression of the variety).

Description:
This exclusive Pinot Noir presents a typical ruby red colour with an intense nose, showing vibrant cherry fruit with an excellent variety character. The ripe juicy palate displays sweet red fruits with spicy notes.

Food Pairing: This Pinot Noir is well-suited to pair with salmon and poultry. It will play well with creamy sauces, spicy seasonings and vegetable dishes.

14º to 16ºC.
