Wine and Gastronomy

Classical ruby red with brick shades.

Grape variety: tempranillo

Very complex and intense nose, with good odors perfectly formulated for aging: vanilla, herbs and spices. Reminders of a very ripe fruit appear.

The taste is balanced and good glass of wine, with a polished and elegant body and long and pleasant finish.

Is especially good with grilled lamb chops with vines shoots, sauce and smoked and salted cheeses.
