Vinification & Maturation
Late manual harvest, at the end of September. The grapes are left for 35 days under the sun. Whole grape pressing. The sugar-rich juice is transferred to a stainless steel vat for alcoholic fermentation, which is completed by indigenous yeasts. It is then moved in oak barrels where it ages for at least 12 months before bottling.
Aging potential: 20+ years.
Organoleptic Characteristics
Deep orange to brown color with golden highlights. The nose reveals intense aromas of dried fruits, dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla, and caramel. A sweet wine with moderate acidity and a full, rich body, with a distinctive oily texture, confirmed by the “tears” in the glass. The alcohol is well integrated into the rich flavor profile of nuts, vanilla, coffee, dark chocolate, and dried fruits (fig, plum, and apricot). Long-lasting aftertaste.
Pairs well with a wide range of dark chocolates, kaymak ice cream, profiteroles, mille-feuille, spoon sweets, and platters of dried fruits & nuts.
