Colour

Deep ruby color with violet rims.

Bouquet

Fresh and pronounced on the nose, with complex aromas and eucalyptus notes. Elegant fragrance of black fruit and fresh herbal hints of mint and balsamic.

Flavour

On the palate, very well integrated acidity and fine tannins from the two years in new Caucasian oak barrels. Sophisticated range of ripe fruit flavours of nice intensity and a long finish, with good potential for ageing.

Pairing

Acorn-fed Iberico ham, Roasts, game and other well-flavoured dishes and mature riche cheeses.
