2017 INTENSA
Notes from the Winemakers
Candied raspberry and cherry waft off this wine’s nose and meld with the sweet vanilla aromas of charred oak. Barrel‐aged for three years, notes of bright strawberry jam meet the palate and open up to a complex finish of licorice and beefy oak. Medium‐soft tannins integrate the whole blend from the mid‐palate through to the finish.
Production Notes
Fermented on the skins for more than 2 weeks, each wine used to make this blend has completed malolactic fermentation and was aged in barrels for three years, a portion of which were in new barrels. We bottle age this wine for multiple years before releasing it, to ensure it is enjoyed in its prime.
