The Vineyard

The grapes come from vineyards located between 700 and 1,000 meters of altitude in the Almansa area.

The vines grow on sandy soils with a significant presence of limestone in the subsoil, a combination that favors balanced ripening and adds freshness to traditionally Mediterranean varieties.

The altitude and the marked thermal differences between day and night help preserve the aromatic intensity and natural acidity of the grape.

Winemaking

The varieties are vinified separately in stainless steel tanks with temperature control to preserve the expression of each.

After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation is carried out, adding greater smoothness and harmony to the whole.

Subsequently, the wine ages in French and American oak barrels, completing its refinement in stainless steel tanks before bottling.

Tasting Notes

It presents an intense bright red color with violet reflections that reflect its youth and concentration.

The nose is powerful and complex, with abundant aromas of ripe red fruits accompanied by delicate spicy notes and perfectly integrated aging hints.

On the palate, it shows a great structure, with a fleshy and enveloping texture. Ripe fruit dominates the whole, balanced by a pleasant freshness that brings dynamism and length.

The finish is persistent, broad, and very satisfying.

Food Pairing

Recommended serving temperature: between 14 and 16 ºC.
