Wine:
Produced according to the Solera technique used for the best Spanish wines, the Red Magnum Vin de France Au fil du Temps is a timeless wine that transgresses traditional conventions. Solar, timeless, multi-millennial, and inevitably ephemeral, it combines power and voluptuousness, consistency, and freshness, with the blend of vintages magnificently balancing its style. It is a magnificent, accessible, and generous achievement with fresh peppery, and spicy accents. This wine will only be available in Magnum!Vinification:
Hand harvested, aged in a solera style, compilation of several vintages including 2016 which brings vitality to the blend. It is not excluded that you need to decant to fully enjoy it. (presence of carbon dioxide at the opening, 100% natural, chosen by the estate to avoid excess sulfur). The absence of sulphur limits its shelf life.Color:
