The 2018 vintage was marked by a dry beginning of the year, but a warm summer enabled proper bud development, which later led to higher-than-average yields. The harvest started in the middle of September and lasted until the end of October. The skin contact lasted for eighteen days, after which the wine matured in French oak barrels for eighteen months. The wine is ruby red in color. The elegant notes of violet, white pepper and rose petals create a beautiful, aromatic bouquet. The wine is layered on the palate with juciy aromas of berry fruit, orange zest, liquorice and dark chocolate. Well-balanced, with rounded and smooth tannins and pleasant freshness, which leads to a long-lasting and creamy finish.
