A black-cherry colour with terracotta nuances in the rim and a deep robe. The oak and fruit in the complex nose are well blended and balance perfectly with the dense, rich palate. This is a magnificent wine with an expressive nose, followed by an elegant and silky palate. With more time in the glass, its complexity and grandeur increase even further.
The wine is aged for 60 months in the barrel and the bottle with at least 24 months in oak barrels and a minimum 24 months in the cellar.
This Gran Reserva is made from the best grapes from vineyards located in the rolling hillsides of Laguarda and Lapuebla de Labarca in the medium to high altitude zones with their favourable clay soils. The vines are an average of 30 years old.
A perfect accompaniment for red meat or game in roasts or stews, cured meat, oily fish and mature cheese.
Highly Recommended in Decanter magazine March 2021.
