Tasting Notes
A truly unique grape yields fantastic complex characteristics. Rubin's heritage as a cross of Nebbiolo and Syrah gives notes of candied red cherry, strawberry, hibiscus, lavender, roses, and leather. Fresh acids and a medium body make this a lively wine that continues to open up in the glass with more exotic perfumed aromas.

Winemaking
The Rubin grape is a cross variety created in the 1940s in Bulgaria between Nebbiolo & Syrah grapes. After destemming and crushing , the process flows in stainless steel tanks, in small batches, punch-down by hand, as fermentation is carried out by indigenous and selected yeasts. Malolactic fermentation takes place in 10% new and 90% old French 300L oak barrels, aged for 16 months.
