Only recently planted in our vineyard it will produce grapes that will be used for vinification from 2004 onwards, not before.

This vine is of Bordeaux origin in the Médoc and Graves areas and is without a doubt the most famous variety in the world for the production of quality, long-life wines. Its enormous capacity for adapting to widely different climatic conditions and vinification techniques whilst retaining its own qualities for identification as well as those of the territory.

It has average-sized, pentalobate, serrated leaves; the grape bunch is medium-small, oblong, cylindrical-pyramid-like and fairly compact and alar with one particularly pronounced side; the berry is of average size and almost round in shape; its blue-black skin is extremely tough with shades of bloom-rich violet.
