Winemaker Notes: 

"In the glass, the Batuta 2018 displays a radiant ruby red hue of medium intensity, typical of the 2018 vintage. The aromas on the nose are rather reserved and youthful, with hints of redcurrant and blackberries mingling with a mineral character and subtle touches of wood. An elegant palate reveals vibrant flavors and well-integrated wood harmonising beautifully with fresh red fruits, leading to a light, long and linear finish. This Batuta is still very young and somewhat closed, but promises excellent cellaring potential. We recommend decanting the wine an hour before serving."
