Cuvée Alegre
A second wine, Campo Alegre, the baby brother of Campo Eliseo, was first made in 2007, with the same attention to detail but a lighter style.
Description
Winemaking techniques
Harvesting by hand in 15kg crates, then sorting by hand on a conveyor before and after de-stemming.

14 months in French oak barrels.

Beautiful ripe cherry colour.
An expressive nose with red fruit, cocoa and delicate spice notes.
Rounded, well structured and tannic on the palate.
