Tasting Notes
The color is typical of the grape variety - transparent and sparkling ruby red. Complex nose, abundant in juicy cherries, rose, and spices, followed by earthy tones. The taste complements these aromas with additional herbal flavors. The wine is elegant, medium-bodied, with a long finish.

Winemaking
The average age of the vines is 50 years, and they are grown following biodynamic viticultural practices. Alcoholic fermentation starts after 3 days of cold maceration and is carried out at temperatures lower than those typical for red wine fermentation, with isolated and selected yeasts from AYA's own vineyards. After this process is complete, the wine is separated from the solid parts and undergoes malolactic fermentation. Part of the wine is aged in old oak barrels for one year.
