In a deep ruby red, the Alto Shiraz flows into the glass and exudes an exciting bouquet of red berry fruit, white and black pepper and fine spices. On the palate, the aromas already absorbed by the nose can also be recognized in the form of delicious taste nuances. Smooth and full-bodied, but not too opulent. His creamy mouthfeel rounds off the pleasure experience in a perfect way!

The grapes were harvested by hand with great care, destemmed and gently crushed. The juice then fermented on the skin in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25-27°C for ten days. After fermentation, the wine matured in barriques for 18 months, using a combination of first, second and third barrels, each containing 40% French and 60% American oak.
