Description:
The grapes come from selected plots of very old Garnacha vineyards with low yield, producing grapes with a higher concentration of aromas and fruit loads, located high on the hillsides in mainly decomposed slate and gravely clay soils. After carrying out the alcoholic fermentation in small stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature, it is aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels, the result is a limited production of this exclusive wine.
Tasting Notes:
Dark Picota Cherry colour with an attractive nose in which the aromas of ripe fruit appear, the roasted and spicy notes of a long aging in wood (pepper and nutmeg) and the mineral memories of the slate soils of the vineyard born. On the palate it is tasty and powerful, fruity and elegant, meaty and complex, it is superbly drunk although it shows great aging potential.
Food Pairings:
Wine of great versatility that can be paired with grilled red meat, game meat or creamy rice dishes, game stews, poultry, roast, cured and blue cheeses, serrano ham, charcuterie, mushrooms, small game stews and pork.
