The wine
The Finca de Villatuerta range offers new wines, full of aromatic expression from their varieties and originating from the Tierra Estella vineyards lying on the slopes of the Granja de Legardeta estate.
The wine appears a deep purple colour with dark Picota cherry on the rim. It boasts a very intense nose. There are aromas of wild black berry fruits, along with floral, spicy and woodland notes. The palate is ample, enveloping, dense and structured, revealing smoky and mineral notes and ripe tannins, and concludes with a long finish.
Aged for 14 months in French oak barrels.
