The wine reveals a beautiful red cherry color with ruby rim in the glass. It has a very elegant nose with some mineral notes, balsamic, blackberries, raspberry, a background of spicy notes from the wood. Lively on the palate with a very good structure. The wine has a long finish and it shows fleshy and elegant.
100% Tinta Fina (Tempranillo) from our vineyards in Castrillo de Duero at 920 m. (3.018 ft.) high.
The grapes are harvested at its optimum maturity stage, picked by hand in small cases of 15 Kg. Once the grape is in the winery, it is passed through a grain sorting table, and afterwards they are softly de -stemmed and slightly crushed.
Aged in French Oak Barrels for 18 Months.
Wine Enthusiast Review:
Aromas of brambly fruits of the wood, red plum and tobacco leaf set the stage for blackberry, black plum, clove, licorice, dark chocolate and dried thyme flavors. Tannins come on strong and drift away into a smooth finish marked with a whiff of violet. -M.D.
