Didona—60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Syrah  
2012 Vintage
These grapes come from a very dry region.
All grapes are selected by hand, destemmed, and transferred to a stainless steel tank where they are cooled to 5 degrees. Cold maceration takes place for 5 days. 
The wine is fermented in stainless steel for 10-15 days.  Wine is pumped over 4 times/day during fermentation to keep the top of the must moist so that it continues to impart flavor to the juice. Free run juice is transferred to another tank where malolactic fermentation occurs.  Following that, the wine is transferred to French oak barrels. 
Syrah is aged in new barrels for 15-18 months.  The Cab is aged in second-generation barrels for 15-18 months. 
After blending, the wine is stored in stainless steel for a year, then bottled.  It remains in the bottle at least three years before release.  It can easily age another 10 years. 
The corks in these bottles come from trees in Tunisia. 
13% ABV
