Tender aromas of herbs and fruit in the nose, like slices of yellow apples, combined with the fragrance of roasted nuts. On the palate very close-knit and typically compact for the vintage, with a mineral-like touch and pleasant freshness. A big must for wine lovers!

Ripened at least 22 months in small wooden barrels and 6 months in the bottle. A fragrance of sour-cherries and berries, firm on the palate, fine balance of acid and tannin, soft, harmonic and long lingering aftertaste. Delicious with lamb dishes.

One of the discoveries from Spain. 100% Tempranilla, ripened only in new barrique barrels, dark colour, very strong fragrance – almost exotic, a finish as can be expected. A real drinking experience.
