Cultivation: Our vineyards head down the southern face of the hill from the Castle located on the vineyard to the small stream. The vines receive excellent sunshine and sway, many times energetic, from the sea breeze, which leaves dew every morning. In bright and clear days one can see the sea from the Castle.

Tasting Notes:Pretty garnet violet color. Aromas of strawberry preserves on toast and toffee cocktail aromas follow through on a soft entry to a dryish medium body with tart cherry pit and honey notes. Finishes with drying powdery tannin fade. Serve at 43º F.

Aroma: Complex aroma with fruity (apple) and some spice notes. The softness gives a great elegance.

Conservation Time: Good Ageing potential (1 - 2 years)
