The story: The winemaker, Julio Sáenz, selected the Martelo, Camino de la Iglesia and Las Cuevas estates for this wine. Their vines are over sixty years old, distributed across north south facing slopes, with good exposure to the sun and wind, achieving balanced ripeness and magnificent condition.
In your mouth: I am bold and display notes of red fruit such as, raspberries, cherries and cranberries, enveloping balsamic and spicy aging notes: vanilla, licorice, dark chocolate and cloves. I am silky smooth and a force to be reckon with - pair me with your biggest and boldest and I am sure to prevail as the meals protagonist.
