The style of our wines is determined by the specifics of the terroir. But winemaking is developing, and the tastes and expectations of consumers are changing. We decided to meet these two parallels in a series for not only preserve the distinctive characteristics of our red wines, but also to get the most out of the vineyards, applying innovative vinification methods to already grown and new varieties. We present the Midalidare Limited Edition Premium Reds series – three red wines with a new interpretation of the Midalidare winemaking philosophy.
In order to reveal the full potential of the variety, at Midalidare we used the carbonic maceration technique as a part of the Midalidare Carbonic Maceration Petit Verdot winemaking. The result is an elegant varietal wine, with a lighter color, complex aroma, soft tannins, excellent balance, and very good aging potential.
