Darien Crianza
Harvested between the end of September and early October, the grape varieties were de-stemmed and then fermented separately over a period of seven days. Maceration ocurred over 15 days at cool temperatures followed immediately by malolactic fermentation. Blending took place before the wines were transferred to cask. After blending, the wine was aged for twelve months in three year old French and American oak casks. It was bottled unfiltered. Bright red color. The nose shows a combination of lovely red fruit flavors and complex toasty aromas with a hint of smoke. It has medium weight on the palate with cherry flavors followed by spicy, smoky notes. The finish is supported by moderate tannins and bright acidity, providing great structure to the intense fruit.
