The vintage
The season began with a beneficial winter that provided sufficient rain and temperatures that were kind to our grapevines. Spring started with abundant rain and an absence of frost. It was a fairly cool season compared to the previous year. Summer temperatures continued the trend of significant day/nightime differences compared to 2017, with high temperatures for just a few hours a day. Which induced a slow ripening process. The first grapes were picked 17 days later than the previous season and the harvest ended 22 days later than in 2017. Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested on March 20-26, while the Syrah was picked on February 20. Tempranillo and Mourvèdre were picked on March 23.

Tasting
Bright raspberry color. The nose features seductive notes of gooseberry, pomegranate, raspberry and strawberry. The mouth is enticingly creamy and balanced, with a pleasant freshness and a smooth velvety finish. This wine is best enjoyed in its youth, within 2-3 years after bottling.
