WINEMAKER'S NOTES: "Deep ruby red with crimson hues. High aromatic expression of red fruits like fresh cherries, plums and figs, along with tobacco, licorice, nutmeg and cocoa. A lively palate opens to well-balanced and sweet tannins with a long, elegant finish. "

Our icon wine combines the finest of both our vineyards and top-class winemaking seeking the best possible harmony between the grapes and the oak. To achieve perfect balance, the best components of the year are blended according to the particular characteristics of each vintage, therefore the composition of the wine varies each year.

Rather than following a recipe, the wine aims to achieve quality consistency year after year. We humbly believe that this wine represents our never ending search for a ever more distinctive style, and that demonstrates the best viticultural and enological effort of the year. Axel Primero reflects our total commitment to quality and the challenge of obtaining the clearest expression of the terroir of our vineyards.
