Winemaker’s Notes: Ígneo is a blend of Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot and is a wine with a deep, bright violet-red appearance.

The aromas are complex and expressive with floral notes that intermingle with stewed red and black fruits, figs, dried fruit and earthy notes as well as subtle hints of spice and menthol.

The palate is persistent and dense with powerful tannins that are at the same time ripe and supple. The oak flavours are well integrated and the wine has a distinctive mineral or balsamic texture.

The finish is Rich and lingering with great acidity and flavours of ripe fruit, graphite as well as hints of smoke, tobacco and chocolate.
