The wine
A great Ribera, well-balanced and characterful, made predominantly from Tinta del País (Tempranillo) grapes with the addition of 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from the winery's older vineyards.
Its intense, dark cherry-red colour shows bright amber and brick-red glints on the rim from ageing. Great subtlety on the nose as ripe fruit aromas mingle with toasty and spicy notes. Meaty and powerful on the palate, with balanced acidity, fine ripe tannins and a lingering finish, all providing a harmonious, flavoursome mouthfeel.
Aged for around 18 months in French and American oak barrels.
