The wine
A Tempranillo (75%), Sauvignon (10%) and Merlot (15%) blend created with Carmelo Rodero's distinctive touch that deserves all the accolades it receives both at home and abroad. The grapes are sourced from the winery's own vineyards, selected from vines more than 40 years old.
A deep, rich, purplish cherry-red colour, it displays intense aromas of ripe dark fruit integrating well with toasty, roasted notes from the wood. Elegant and well-balanced on the palate, it appears powerful and unctuous, showing a developed complexity, round tannins and a lengthy finish.
Aged for at least 18 months in French oak barrels less than 2 years old.
