frequently asked questions (FAQS)
Is it a very dry wine?
Although it is a dry red wine, its explosion of ripe fruit and silky tannins give it a very pleasant perceived fruit sweetness, without being a sweet wine.
What type of grapes does it contain?
It is a red blend where Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon predominate, with touches of Merlot and Syrah to round out the body and texture.
Does it need to be aerated before serving?
It is a very expressive wine from the moment it is opened, but 20 minutes of oxygenation will help the chocolate and spice notes to be fully released.
