Wine Description

This wine has been made with 60% Garnacha and 40% Merlot form our own exclusive plots, with more than 25 years.

Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of around 25 ºC and maceration lasts 10 – 12 days depending on the condition of the grapes. When alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wine is subjected to 6 months of micro-oxygenation in wine-making tanks in order to round it off and enhance its structure and aromas.

Part of this wine has been lightly aged for 3 months in American oak barrels.

Tasting Notes

Ripe cherry red with attractive purple hues.

A clean, intense aroma with a prevalence of ripe red fruit and gentle balsamic nuances which lend the wine its particular complexity and elegance.

Smooth, tasty and round in the mouth with sweet tannins; extremely well balanced with a long finish.

Serving recommendations: Open the bottle some time before serving to allow the wine to breathe so you can enjoy its full flavour.
