Spec sheet
The wine
This is the bodega's star wine. Elegant and complex, it combines the character of the French varieties (Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah) with a genuine Mediterranean personality.
The wine is an intense ruby-red colour, with terracotta glints, and very dense. The nose displays aromas of ripe fruit, with balsamic, spicy, floral (violets) and mineral notes (graphite, black rock and earth recently dug). Powerful and complex on the palate, it is balanced and elegant with ripe tannins. There is plenty of fullness and harmony on the aftertaste, with toasty and smoky notes.
Aged for 17 months in French oak barrels.
