Tasting notes

Cherry red color with violet reflections. The nose presents intense notes of ripe red and black fruit (cherry, currant, blackberry), hints of pepper and fine spices, and a slightly mineral background that adds freshness. On the palate, it is frank and balanced, with medium-high body, soft but present tannins, good acidity, and a clean finish with a fruity and spicy aftertaste.

Pairing

Perfect with lean or roasted meat dishes, Iberian cured meats, traditional stews, roasted vegetables, or assorted tapas.
