🍷 Appearance
Deep ruby to dark crimson in the glass with dense colour concentration, reflecting the wine’s richness and maturity.
👃 Aroma (Nose)
Aromatic and complex with notes of purple plum, dark berries and dried Mediterranean herbs. Layers of anise, brown spice and subtle oak add depth and warmth to the bouquet.
👅 Palate
Full-bodied and richly flavoured with black cherry, blackberry and plum fruit at the core. Hints of coffee bean, dark chocolate and savoury olive notes develop across the palate, adding complexity and richness.
⚖️ Structure
Velvety tannins provide structure and balance, supported by moderate acidity and the creaminess gained from ageing in French and American oak barrels.
🔚 Finish
Long and smooth with lingering dark fruit, spice and subtle herbal nuances, finishing with refined tannins and impressive persistence.
🍇 Overall Style
A bold yet polished Spanish Reserva-style Tempranillo, combining ripe Mediterranean fruit with oak-derived spice and savoury complexity. The result is a structured, full-bodied red with depth and ageing potential.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Excellent with grilled lamb, Spanish tapas, chorizo, slow-braised beef, roasted vegetables or aged Manchego cheese.
Cheers
