The health of the grapes harvested has been excellent. The first quarter was dry, but during March and April there was abundant rainfall which provided a reserve above the water last year. The month of August, as the first half of September were very hot which, along with the numerous summer storms, accelerated maturation with the consequent advance of the start of harvest.

Tasting Notes

Ruby red, deep shades of cherry pillory, clean, good intensity on the nose, where the spicy aromas of oak, vanilla, still mixed with memories of tempranillo varietal, floral, red fruit, blackberry bramble and aftertaste with Grenache mature. The palate is a, wide and long, warm wine of good acidity and noble tannin. Its structured body wishes him a long life in proper storage conditions but can also accompany and enhance and fine cuisine.
