However, August brought much-needed rain, averting drought. Harvesting began on September 19th. Fermentation with yeast lasted 45 days. The wine was aged for two years in large oak barrels. It has a remarkably dark, completely matte ruby red color. The aroma features cherry preserves and dried plums, with hints of wild berries and cinnamon. It has a moderate alcohol content and a firm structure, with flavors expanding to cherry and vanilla.
