Technical Information - The object of the coupage is to obtain a different and special wine, using the Tempranillo and Syrah varieties of several Spanish viticultural origins, which provide their own particularities. The grapes come from old vines and are collected manually. The vinifications are made in stainless steel tanks for 10-14 days with controlled temperatures of 26-28ºC. The wine remains in American oak barrels for 3-4 months until the end of the malolactic fermentation. After determining the mixture and the wines are assembled.
About this wine - Dark violet color. Toasty aromas and flavors of craisins, chocolate nuts and cake, French toast with maple, and sandalwood with a silky, bright, fruity medium body and a tingling, captivating, medium-length chocolate cherry bonbons, watermelon vanilla gelato, peppered nuts, and earth finish with a suggestion of oak. A bright and fruity Spanish red that drinks effortlessly.
Young and vibrant aromas of bramble fruit, black cherry, strawberry essence, and burned sugar are intriguing. A fresh acidity balances sweet red berry fruits and a hint of bitter herbs on the palate and it finishes fruity and dry.
