About The Wine:
80% Tempranillo. 15% Mazuelo. 5% Graciano
Aged 18 months in American oak barrels for optimal tannin integration, including an additional 6 months in the bottle prior to release for optimum maturity.
Tasting Notes:
Bright cherry red color with Fresh fruit and licorice aromas along with pronounce notes of spice and toasty flavours stemming from the new oak. Soft in the mouth with pleasant and velvety tannins on a nice long harmonious finish. As a result this wine with its structure and complexity could have been classified as a Rioja Reserve with additional oak aging.

A bright, medium-bodied version, with appealing aromas of spice box, violet and tobacco acting as a fragrant thread through the ripe black cherry, strawberry and mineral notes, which are more up front but hang on through the chewy, moderately long finish. Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano. Drink now. 45,000 cases made, 1,750 cases imported.
