“Notes of ripe fruit. Aromas of sarsaparilla and blackcurrant lead to a round, rich palate. The finish features ripe, silky tannins. Drink now. ” (James Suckling) Grown at high altitude on clay-limestone soils, the old Tempranillo, Viura, and Graciano vines produce a fresh wine with spicy red and black fruit aromas. The palate is both powerful and silky, with structuring tannins. Don’t wait to discover it!
