Weather conditions:
The healthy winter rains restored the soil humidity level after the drought of 2012. Budding and flowering occurred during the typical periods of recent years.

Colour:
Ruby with violet hues.
Bouquet:
Complex and elegant. The huge fruity notes as the redberry, are perfectly balanced with the spice from the oak.
