VINEYARD
An old vineyard in the Fofunka position of 1 hectare area where Cabernet Sauvignon is grown. Soil of deep profile, clay with silicate rocks. The breeding form is a single guyot with less than 5 buds per vine. Due to the higher grape quality and aroma concentration, the yields were reduced to an average of 1.2 kg per vine.

The harvest was done manually at the end of September. Preparation and fermentation were made at a controlled 18 degree temperature. After fermentation, the wine was transferred to the barrique barrels of French oak during which malolactic fermentation has passed. After 14 months of aging, it was filled in a bottle and stored for another 6 months before being released.
