Detailed Information

Tasting Notes

It has an intense aroma of cherries, raspberries, blueberries, elderberries, and has a discreet sensation of sweetness, the result of the good ripening of the grape. Its brief aging in oak brings to this wide fruit set memories of vanilla, chocolate and caramel. In the mouth it shows that charm of young wine. Its juicy acidity, fine tannins and medium body are well balanced, making it easy to drink. All its flavors are appreciated with intensity: red fruits and creamy oak notes, but also memories of scrub and licorice appear, providing an excellent complexity to the whole.

Ideal to take with: Tapas, white meats, charcuterie and cheeses.

Production Features

This is the winery's youngest wine. To make the wine, we use Tempranillo grapes from our vineyards of Los Silos and Carrapiñel, both in Pesquera de Duero. Planted on limestone soils and grown according to the principles and practices of organic farming, they produce grapes with intense bouquets each year. We then add grapes from other vineyards where the vines are grown according to conventional methods, planted in La Horra and Quintana del Pidio, two municipalities of long-standing winegrowing tradition. The must is fermented with our own, unique and personal yeast, selected and isolated at the vineyard around the winery since 2004.
