Red Vintage Set

TASTING NOTE

Its deep ruby colour matches the aromas of red and black fruits. Rich on the palate, it’s perfectly balanced by a nice freshness and fine tannins.

Soils are ploughed and compost is applied between the rows. Age of the vines: 15 to 35 years. Average yield: 18 hectolitres per hectare with a density of 3 500 to 4 000 vines per hectare.
