TASTING NOTES

A violet coloured wine. In the nose it is very sensual, with great aromatic intensity and concentration, notes of black fruits, jam, rock-rose and light floral. In the mouth it is elegant, with firm and mature tannins, making the finish long, persistent and pleasant.

WINE YEAR

The year was characterized by being extremely dry and hot. The evolution of the climatic conditions contributed to a significant advance in the vegetative cycle, making the harvest one of the earliest in living memory. The prolonged absence of rainfall and the occurrence of very high temperatures led to an increase in sugar concentration, which was reflected in high quality wines.
