The wine is dense with a deep, black cherry colour and vibrant highlights in the rim. The aroma is intense and very complex, the red fruits blending with rosemary, thyme, chocolate and dark roasted notes. This is an old vine Tempranillo which offers all the fruit and smooth tannins of a well aged wine. It is dense and sweet with a long, very harmonious finish.
Drink with a wide range of foods such as: páté, porcini mushrooms, red meat, lamb chops, barbecued fish, game, stews, desserts and chocolate.
The grapes are selected from bush vineyards, with over 35 years of history, where they are hand harvested.
The grapes are hand sorted, fermented in small stainless steel tanks before ageing in new American and French oak casks. The wine is bottled after 17 months and it will continue to improve in the bottle.
