Production

This is produced from the red grapes Tempranillo, Garnacha and Garnacha Tintorera, alongside white varieties Doña Blanca, Godello and Palomino. The vines are 80-100 years old, planted in clay soils at 800 metres altitude. All the grapes from the old vineyard, both red and white, are harvested together. The whole bunches are pressed without destemming then trodden for five days until spontaneous fermentation takes place. The wine spends 6 months in used French oak barrels.

Tasting notes

Pale brick red in colour. Complex aromas of bramble and redcurrant fruit with a lightly herbal note. The palate is bright and fresh with raspberry and red cherry, vibrant acidity and supple tannins. A wonderfully delicate, elegant style but with plenty of character and a long finish.

Food match

Nice juicy shoulder of lamb!
