This New World Pinot Noir hails from a special one-hectare hillside in Casablanca. Carefully crafted and matured in fine, elegant French oak barrels, this wine has good body and a delicate nature, perfect for enjoying a magical moment.
This wine is deep ruby in colour. The nose opens with the classic red fruit, such as strawberries and wild raspberries, typical of this noble variety. Notes of vanilla and spices intermingle subtly with a delicate minerality, making this a delightful and complex wine.
The mouth reveals intense, fruity flavours and tannins which are ripe, well-rounded and integrated into the elegant structure. Long in the finish. The French oak frames the expressiveness of this distinctive and elegant wine.
The temperatures were moderate to cool in 2018, which meant that the grapes ripened slowly and the resulting wines were well-balanced, fresh and aromatic.
The grapes first underwent a cold maceration for around a week to draw out the colour and aromas. Then they were fermented in small open tanks at controlled temperatures of between 22ºC and 26ºC. All of this wine was aged for 14 months in French oak barrels: 25% of them new Bordeaux barrels, 35% second use and 40% third use.
This wine pairs well with oily fish, pasta dishes, creamed soups and mature cheese.
