Winemaking

90% old vine Tempranillo and other 10% is Graciano, Garnacha and other indigenous pre-phylloxera grapes. The harvested grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled French oak casks and macerated to extract their full potential. The resulting wine is then passed to French oak barrels where it undergoes malolactic fermentation to give it complexity and aromatic intensity while stabilising its colour.

Tasting notes

Colour

Deep, blackcurrant and dark cherry red colour.

Nose

Fresh nose reminiscent of red and black forrest fruit with a balsamic background and pleasant mineral and spice hues.

Mouth

An ample and fleshy palate, enveloping, tasty and concentrated with a long finish and supported by good acidity.

Pairing

Matches well stews - both meat and fish based - as well as lamb (grilled or in sauce) and with steak. Also goes well with young cheeses of all types.
