Harvest and Maturing
A masterpiece of nature.
A special wine that is crafted only in outstanding vintages. The finest Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc grapes from our oldest vines are carefully hand-selected. First vinified in 1985, this wine has since stood for artisan precision, patience, and the harmonious interplay of grape variety, site, and maturation – a true reflection of our highest quality standards. Only the very best grapes are selected with utmost care. They undergo controlled fermentation on the skins, followed by malolactic conversion and 28 months of aging in new French oak barriques.
