WINE:
"The elegance and the complexity of the Munda 05, make it excellent with meat, game and cream cheese. Best served at 16C. As with any high-quality wine from the Dao region, Munda 05 has a long life expectancy in the bottle (10 - 15 yrs)."

"The aroma is very fine and complex, very attractive with violet flowers, fresh berries and chocolate. In tasting it shows a complex aroma with flavors of ripe blackberries and plums, violets and bergamot flowers, chocolate, coffee and spices. These flavors and aroma are completed be a careful maturation in oak wood, which enriches this aromatic mix. This wine is a very well structured, elegant and complex wine with delights and conquers the taster." -Winemaker

VITCULTURE & VINIFICATION:
"The grapes, hand-picked at the ideal maturation point, underwent stalk removal and soft crushing. The fermentation took place at small stainless steel vats for 8 days at an average temperature of 25-28C with pumping over for soft bouquet and skin extraction. Munda matured for about 18 months in new French oak casks. The final blend was prepared carefully after numerous tastings and analysis, and was lightly filtered before bottling." -Winemaker
