Good concentration of deep red color with hints of wood and vanilla balsamic fragrances. Medium-bodied with sweet powerful tannins and a delicate finish. This succulent wine is ready to drink, yet has the potential to develop for at least 5 years after bottling: serve with veal, lamb, and robust, oily-fleshed fish. Fermentation and maceration take place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature during 8 to 10 days, without de-stemming. 100% of the wine ages in American oak barrels for 6 months. The wine is bottled unfiltered at Quinta de Ventozelo. It rests in the bottle for a minimum of 4 months before it is released to the market.
