Rich and Opulent
Intense deep red-garnet with a ruby trim. In the nose is intense with black ripe fruit, fig and a touch of raisins all mixed with intense spicy and smoky notes. In the palate is harmonious, balanced with gentle tannins that allowed for a long aftertaste that strengthens the ripe fruit and spices aromas

Outstanding Value
Ruby red with medium intensity. Medium-high intensity aroma. Surprising for its frank, floral aroma with notes of berries, strawberries, licorice, hints of vanilla and a little cinnamon. It is fresh, with bright acidity and silky tannin. Perfect to enjoy with all kinds of tapas. Rice dishes, seasonal vegetable dishes, charcuterie and cheeses
