tasting notes
A red wine with a deep, black-cherry colour, elegant, intense aromas of ripe red berried fruit and a lot of spicy nuances coming through. On the palate you inmediately notice its fine balance and aromatic persistence, making it a long wine with a lot of flavours, long in the mouth with a deep, pleasant finish. It reveals sensory features wich reflect very well its microclimate in the most northerly zone of La Rioja an are faithful to its roots.
