Halana 2005, “a quality vintage”
Thanks to particularly good weather conditions – a cold winter by Moroccan standards, followed by a warm summer with cool nights at harvest time and just the right amount of rainfall – the grapes ripened perfectly, developing lovely rich, concentrated flavours.
Plot selection was conducted to make sure each variety of grapes was picked only when perfectly ripe, with a vinification process (including temperature control throughout) designed to produce wines with deep, clear colours, complex aromas and all the typical character of the grape varieties and the land they are grown on.
The Cabernet Sauvignon is most expressive with hints of fruit (blackcurrant and cherries), nice length in the mouth and cocoa flavours leading into a menthol finish with floral hints.
