Tasting notes of winery's winemaker

PREPARATION

Wine made from Tempranillo (95%) and Graciano (5%) grape varieties. It was elaborated following the traditional method at a controlled temperature, using grapes wit the stems and stalks stripped away. The wine is aged in American oak barrels of 225-litres in capacity for 5 months (the ?semi-maturing? process), endowing the wine the most complex aromas without losing its fresh and fruity character.

TASTING

It has a ruby colour, is intense, pure and brilliant. It is a wine that perfectly blends fruity aromas (forest fruits, blueberries) and varietal ones (liquorice), with a subtle hint of wood that helps to endow it with a very suggestive aromatic complexity.

In the mouth, it comes across as being very well structured that turns into something softer, leaving a lasting delicate aftertaste. Owing to its characteristics, its fine body and complexity, it will even mature positively in the bottle, surely furnishiing us with some pleasant surprises.
