Red wine made with a blend of the Listn Negro and Syrah grape varieties. Listn Negro brings an Atlantic character that's fresh and lively while Syrah, grown on our family vineyards, provides the necessary structure for ageing in barrels. Limited production of 17,940 bottles. Both varietals are made separately and a blending of the two is done prior to malolactic fermentation. This second fermentation takes place in 500-litre French oak barrels with different toast levels in order to increase the complexity and balance between the fruit and the wood. This wine is then aged for six months. It's then bottle aged for six months, adding roundness and smoothness. Appearance: Deep burgundy with medium intensity, clear and bright. Aroma: Complex thanks to the blending of varietals and its ageing in oak barrels. Notes of red fruits (blackcurrant or raspberry), toasted hints of toffee or caramel, with a decidedly Atlantic character. The Listn Negro grape variety gives it balsamic notes (mint or eucalyptus), making it an even more complex wine. Taste: Ariana is a fresh, well-balanced, long-lived wine with smooth, round tannins providing structure
