Palate:
It has a powerful, balanced palate, with very polished tannins, great length and a finish full of long-lasting aromatic sensations.
Recommended pairing by Made in Spain GourmetMushroom or black truffle risotto : the creaminess of the rice contrasts with its freshness and volume.
Piquillo peppers stuffed with seitan or lentils : a play of vegetable sweetness and wine complexity.
Legume stews with roasted vegetables : balanced intensity.
Over time, a natural sediment of coloring matter or tartrates may appear, which is an unequivocal sign of purity and integrity. It will evolve positively in the bottle over the next 10 years. Store in a cool (12º – 14º C) and dark place horizontally.
