Grape variety:

• 100% Tempranillo, a native grape of Spain known for its aging capacity and intense aromas.

Production:

• Fermentation: It takes place in stainless steel tanks with temperature control to preserve the fruity aromas.
• Aging: The wine spends 14 months in carefully selected American oak barrels. Subsequently, it rests for 8 months in the bottle to round off its flavors before being released to the market.

Tasting notes:

1. Appearance:
   • Ruby red color with garnet reflections. Bright and medium-high layer.
2. Nose:
   • Intense and elegant aromas. Ripe red fruits predominate (such as cherries and plums) combined with spicy notes (vanilla, pepper) and hints of cocoa, tobacco, and toasted wood from barrel aging.
3. Palate:
   • Well-balanced structure, with soft and well-integrated tannins. It has a silky mouthfeel and a persistent aftertaste, with nuances of ripe fruit and spices.

Pairing:

• Ideal to accompany grilled red meats, stews, cured meats, semi-cured cheeses, and traditional dishes such as roast lamb or grilled vegetables.
