Winemaking
Hand-harvested from the winery’s own vineyards, with a rigorous selection of grape clusters at the bodega. Pressed at low pressure to preserve the purity of the fruit. Controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 24–26°C for approximately 20 days. Aged for 12 months in French, Bulgarian, and American oak barrels, adding complexity and balance.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Intense ruby red with violet reflections, clean and bright.
Nose: Elegant and subtle aromas of forest fruits, such as blackberries and blueberries, intertwined with spicy notes of black pepper and light balsamic hints.
Palate: Silky and balanced on entry, with soft, well-integrated tannins. Notes of fresh red fruit, spices, and a light toasted nuance from barrel ageing. Long and persistent finish, with a pleasant mineral sensation.
Food Pairing
Perfect with grilled white and red meats, traditional stews, mature cheeses, and Iberian cured meats. Also ideal with Mediterranean and spiced dishes.
