Tasting Notes

It is a deep red wine with a highly complex bouquet that recalls cooked ripe fruit, preserved in alcohol, dominated by plums, black cherries, raspberries, spices (especially pepper and ginger) and, due to ageing in small wooden barrels, slight notes of cocoa, liquorice and aniseed. On the palate, notes of tangy jams and spices predominate. Its natural sweet tannins are perfectly balanced with its body, giving it interesting roundness. It is very harmonious and well-structured. 

Food pairings

Main courses such as strongly flavoured roasted meat and any type of game. Perfect with seasoned cheeses or sipped in company outside of meal times.
