The wine
This wine has been named after Benjamín's father, Andrés Romeo. It is a single estate Crianza, with a remarkable expression of terroir and considerable long-life potential in bottle.
A dark cherry colour and very dense, almost opaque, in appearance, the wine has an intense nose, with well-integrated aromas of ripe black fruits and oak wood.

NOTE: Decanting is advisable before serving.
Aged for 12 to 14 months in barrel.
