Hidden Valley Hidden Gems is an incredibly complex red wine blend with a stunningly intense bouquet of black berries, dark plums and ripe blackberries and a floral touch of violets and fine eucalyptus. Intense nuances of black fruits also give the prelude on the palate, accompanied by delicious notes of subtle oak wood spice, fragrant tobacco and fine spices. A full-bodied wine with a smooth finish that lingers for a long time and gives first-class pleasure.

The grapes for this first-class red wine cuvée were hand-picked at optimal maturity and fermented at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks and pressed before the desired degree of dryness. After completion of the malolactic fermentation, the individual grape varieties were filled into French barriques with a capacity of 225 l per barrel, where the wines were allowed to mature separately for 16-18 months. Only 20% of the barrels were new wood, while the rest were second and third filled.
