Teran Anno Domini 2016
Teran Anno Domini is produced only in good years, and hence the name. Grapes from our best vineyards are selected to produce this wine. After the ideal ripeness is reached and the vinification is complete, the wine is stored to age a few years, partly in wooden barrels and partly in the bottle. When it comes on the market, Teran Anno Domini is usually a well-rounded and full-bodied wine, with a lively acidic backbone, a valued collector's item with a long aging potential.

Regular and balanced vegetation development in a textbook year in which the weather alternated and allowed the plant to develop without stress. Less rainfall during March and April, May mostly dry, extremely wet June, then July, August, September mostly dry and October moderately wet. The green harvest was done in mid-August, and the regular harvest took place between October 10 and 15, 2016. The malts in the grapes were moderate, as were the acids.
Description:
A developed and very layered fragrance in which ripe black berries and black cherries intertwine with the forest floor and a pleasant touch of oak. The taste is equally layered, with firm tannins, attractively elegant and balanced. Ripe fruitiness, fine spices and sweetness mark the beginning and middle of the taste, while the pleasant bitterness and aftertaste of ripe grapes are the main feature of the aftertaste. It is a wine to pair with ambitious dishes and haute cuisine, as well as with the potential for many years of preservation.
Gastronomic recommendation:
Aged steaks and other types of aged steaks are sprinkled with coarse salt and drizzled with olive oil.
