There is always some 15% of other grapes, not necessarily the same every year (usually Syrah), but the grapes always come from a special three-hectare vineyard in Marchigüe on granite soils that allow for dry farming. The grapes underwent a one-week cold soak and then fermented, trying to avoid excessive extraction. It matured in new French barriques for two years and for four years in bottle before its release. It's a powerful and ripe red, with 15% alcohol and moderate acidity. There are salty sensations of cured meat and ripe black fruit, very balsamic, with notes of cigar ash and spices, quite influenced by the élevage.
