Vineyard
The vineyard is planted to 85% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon. The average age of the vines is 40 years. Through severe pruning in the spring, yields are kept exceptionally low, between 35 and 42hl/h, and no green harvesting is necessary.
Vinification
Fermentation is carried out with only indigenous yeasts and maceration lasts between 3 and 5 weeks. After vinification, the wine is aged in tank for 1 to 3 months for clarification and then in barrel (2 and 3 year old barrels) for up to 18 months. The wine is racked every 2 or 3 weeks, fined with egg whites but not filtered.

Tasting Note
A blend of mostly Merlot, with Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, showing aromas of blackberry, spice, rich dark fruits, chocolate and herbs. The finish is long and velvety. This wine will pair nicely with many preparations of steak.
