Colour

Clean, clear and bright. Garnet color with reddish reflections, and where it has a medium layer intensity. Very nice to look at.

AROMA:

On the nose, it is a wine that offers us with great intensity a very present fruit. Its notes are fresh, balanced and with a very characteristic mineral touch. Berries, flowers and spicy notes of pepper and cloves conclude its aromatic spectacle.

TASTE:

Mouth entry where it requires prior aeration, as the aid must acquire millimeter accuracy. Of medium intensity, it is characterized by its fruit and seductively silky tannins. A wine of great presence and freshness. Long and delicate finish.

Ideal with grilled red meats, meat rice (such as magret with death trumpets), sausages and spoon dishes.
