Casa Vella
14,5% VOL.
AN OPULENT, COMPLEX ENCOUNTER BETWEEN CLASSICISM AND MODERNITY.
The elegance of the Bordeaux varieties from the estate’s highest vineyards in Mediona defines the profile of this irresistibly seductive red, its bright, cherry red colour tinged with subtle shades of maturity.
Its aromatic expression is deep and intense, with a complex and nuanced palette of ripe red fruit, spices, toasted nuts and dried fruit layered over rich, elegant oak undertones. The palate unfolds unctuously and opulently, with good intensity and concentration, and echoes of spices on the long finish. Nicely defined, ripe tannins promise a long life.
Made from Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine combines classicism and modernity. In a display of both maturity and freshness, it reveals elegant minty notes as it unfolds across the palate, and on retronasal. It is also notable for its roundness, good acidity, and precise notes denoting the time it spent in fine-grained French oak.
