Wine Profile

Food Pairing Notes:

This wine's silky notes and smoothness transmit you the versatility of pairing this wine with delicate flavors such as mushroom risotto, gnocchi ricotta pasta, Caramelised red wine onions, Brussel sprouts, Wagyu beef, or soft texture meat. Go unconventional and pair it with a dark chocolate mousse!

Production Notes:

This wine had a slow fermentation in a Saury American Oak that gives this wine a unique sweet coconut and cream taste and one Puncheon Saury American Oak. These larger-sized barrels manage the strength and development of this Cabernet Sauvignon wine due to the increase in the inner barrel surface-to-wine ratio.

Tasting Notes:

The high quality of the wine provides for a wide range of food pairings. The pigments are blue, with cocoa and chocolate notes within expressive coconut and vanilla notes, concentrated blackberry aromas, elegant and moderate tannins, and a tightly focused finish.
