Bright cherry red with good depth and subtle brick-red edges. The nose is intense, showing ripe black fruit and vanilla, layered with spice and toasted oak. On the palate, it is balanced and persistent, with excellent length and retronasal expression. Shows positive evolution in the glass and strong potential for aging. Ideal with roasted meats, traditional stews, Iberian ham, and aged cheeses. Serve at 17°C.

More information

Fermentation
The grapes are destemmed and crushed before undergoing a two-day pre-fermentation maceration, followed by pump-over maceration; fermentation then proceeds spontaneously under controlled temperatures to ensure optimal expression.
Elevage
The wine is aged for 18 months in medium-plus toasted American oak barrels, with rackings carried out every six months by gravity; it is bottled unfiltered to preserve its full character.
