Winemaking
Hand-harvested from the winery’s own vineyards, with meticulous selection of the grape clusters at the bodega. Pressed at low pressure to preserve the purity of the fresh red fruit. Controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 13–14°C for approximately 30 days. Aged for 24 months in oak barrels and then refined in bottle for a further 12 months before release, developing elegance and complexity.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Deep cherry red with violet reflections, clean and bright.
Nose: Intense aromas of ripe black fruit such as blackberries and plums, with spicy notes of black pepper, liquorice, and cocoa. Hints of vanilla and roasted notes from oak ageing.
Palate: Structured and powerful, with silky, well-integrated tannins. Excellent balance between fruit, oak, and acidity, offering a long, rounded finish with an elegant mineral touch.
Food Pairing
Ideal with grilled red meats, roast lamb, game stews, and mature cheeses. Its depth and complexity also make it an excellent choice for spiced dishes and Iberian cured meats.
