The wine
Made primarily from the Tempranillo variety (85%), grown in 25 year-old vineyards, with some additional Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) from vines planted 10 years ago. Harvesting is still done manually in order to avoid damaging the grape clusters and so that a more accurate selection can be made.
Appearing clean and bright, and a Morello cherry colour with violet hues, the wine releases an aroma of medium-high intensity, fruit-driven and definitely varietal, with spicy touches endowed by oak-ageing. After a smooth entry, it is full and structured on the palate, rich in nuances and with an ample aftertaste.
Aged for 4 months in new American oak barrels.
