Description

  • American & French oak
  • Plum & blueberries
  • Vanilla & toasted cacao
  • Rich finish

Of an intense shiny ruby red color of medium high intensity, clean and bright. Outstanding notes of ripe red fruit, plums and blueberries, on elegant and subtle toasted aromas. Pleasant on the palate, it shows raspberry jam hints along with slightly vanilla and cacao toasted notes. It is well-balanced, with a delicate, enveloping and rich ending.

Continental climate in the region influenced by the closeness of the Mediterranean.

6 months in French (80%) and American (20%) oak barrels.

Food Pairing: Very versatile wine. Pair with lamb, meat stews, grilled meats in general, spicy food (Mexican, Tandoor...). Also lighter dishes as cured cheeses, assorted tapas.
