Grapes, harvest and vinification of the Oreno 2011

This wine is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot. The grapes were hand-picked at the optimal point of ripeness. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks to maintain a perfect balance of fruit, tannins, and structure. The wine is then aged in new oak barrels, enhancing the intense fruit notes with subtle hints of chocolate, spice, and light toast. The result is a wine that is rich and concentrated, yet elegant and balanced.

The bouquet reveals aromas of plums, dark berries, and blackberries, interspersed with notes of chocolate, dark spices, and a hint of leather. On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied, with a soft yet present structure and a long, elegant finish. The combination of ripe fruit and subtle oak gives the wine a refined complexity that captivates the drinker from the first sip to the last.
