ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
The aromatics of the 2021 Tinto are highlighted by notes of cinnamon and baked cherry, showcasing a prominent influence of Grenache and Tempranillo in the blend. This wine exhibits both depth and concentration while maintaining a lightness, attributed to the lower tannins resulting from a significant presence of Mencia. On the palate, flavors of black tea and grilled plum contribute richness, leading to a long, savory finish.
