Vinification
The grapes were hand harvested during the first week of March. After a bunch selection the grapes are pushed into the tanks by a soft process to avoid breaking too much the grapes. Fermentation takes place with a mix of indigenous yeast and selected yeasts. It is fermented at cold temperatures to preserve primary aromas and a series of pump overs and pushing down are done looking for a balanced extraction during the fermentation. Skins are taken away before finishing the fermentation to avoid over extraction. Then the wine spends around 10 months in contact with French oak before bottling.

Tasting Note
The Chento single vineyard Cabernet has a bright violet color with rubicund highlights. In the nose it has red and black fruits, spices, pepper and violet aromas followed by some mineral and graphite notes. Great concentration and very well balanced acidity along with soft silky tannins with a persistent finish.
