“We created Black Edition for cosmopolitan people that are looking for complexity and structure in their wines. It's our top label made annually from very old vines with the use of new French oak barrels. Black Edition gives a severe approach to our range. We use grapes with higher maturation but still keeping the style fresh and vibrant.”
