picture of

Dry red wine made 100% from carefully selected Merlot grapes. This wine is characterized by a deep ruby red color with purple hues. The aging in barriques gives this wine a complex nose that reveals fruity and spicy tones, with dominant prunes complemented with hints of vanilla and coffee. The palate of this full-bodied wine is well developed and elegant, abundant in soft and integrated structure. The liquorice and chocolate aftertaste is long and pleasant.

This wine is perfectly combined with meat specialties, especially with game in piquant sauces, or with different types of cheese.

climate

Dry warm summers. In the winter it can sometimes be very cold with at times a lot of winter snowfall. The nearby mountains regularize the temperatures and bring coolness in the summer and keep the soil warmer in the winter.

soil

A total of 17 ha of vineyard formed by a series of hills with a minimum height of 300m. Located in the Vardar Valley. Southern exhibition. Poor sandy soils with limestone in the substrate and rolled boulders in the upper layer.

vinification

The vinification starts immediately after harvest. The processes of vinification takes place in special inox tanks and wooden vats. The pneumatic punch down system of the wooden vats enables exceptional color extraction with extremely fine tannins, and preservation of all the aromatic compounds. The red wines are aged in barriques, where they complete their malolactic fermentation process. Shortly after the homogenization, the wines are bottled and then aged for some extra time in the winery cellar before they are sent out to the world. The aging process runs under strictly controlled temperature and humidity conditions. This wine has aged 24 months in new American and French oak barriques.
