94pts Intenational Wine & Spirit Competition

A refined bouquet of menthol, eucalyptus, and pine layered over vibrant red fruit. The palate bursts with bright blue fruit, with a marked freshness and elegant balance, while integrated tannins provide structure and tension. The finish is impressively long, revealing savoury notes and a nutty character that lingers delicately. "

Combining bright fruits and luscious chocolate with succulent tannins and a savory finish. This Crianza showcases the charm and satisfaction possible in Tempranillo.

91pts James Suckling

Juicy and well-balanced, showing a peppery edge with lively plums and cherries. Medium-bodied on the palate with dusty tannins dissipating into a fresh, medium-length finish. Lovely now but can hold too.

Tasting Notes

Intense, mid-depth cherry red colour, clean and bright. There is a predominance of red fruit aromas of strawberry and cherry in the nose, with a gentle licorice touch and well-integrated oak that adds some subtle balsamic and toasty notes. It has a light and balanced entrance in the mouth, with a rounded mouthfeel and good acidity. The tannins are gentle and well-structured, and it has a fruity, pleasant and long aftertaste.

Blend: 100% Tempranillo
