A Veredas Tinto 2018 is a minimally intervention Tempranillo, made with grapes from the family estate “La Zapatera” in Galilea. An honest, artisanal wine, fermented in concrete tanks with native yeasts and aged in French oak, which purely reflects the identity of the vineyard.
Intense cherry red in colour, it stands out for its floral and balsamic aromas, along with subtle ageing notes. On the palate, it is dense, structured and surprisingly fluid, with an explosion of fruit and spices. Round tannins, depth and a long finish that invites you to continue enjoying it.
