Production:

Lo petitó, as its name indicates, is the youngest wine of the celler, a blend of Merlot and Syrah sourced from its own vineyards.

Each variety fermented separately at 15 ºC for approximately 20 days; afterwards, 50% rested in stainless steel vats with their fine lees, and the other 50% remained for 6 months in oak.

Tasting Notes:

A young, fresh, and lively red wine. Good intensity aromatic with a mix of red and dark fruits, balsamic notes, and spicy touches. Round with good depth and freshness on the palate, flavors-filled, smooth, and flavorsome with a dry finish.

Notes:  Drink now and over the next 2–3 years.
