Tasting Notes
Dark mahogany color with an amber rim. Intense nose of stewed plums, caramel, toasted walnuts, and spiced wood. Enveloping palate, sweet without being cloying, with lively acidity and a prolonged finish of oak and ripe red fruits.

Pairing
Exceptional with blue cheeses, foie gras, intense dark chocolate, nougat, and nut-based desserts. Also magical as a meditation in a glass.

In every sip of Luis XIV Noble Wine, a liquid poem is discovered: a heritage of sun and shade, dark Monastrell skin, ancient wood, and sweet memory that awakens the horizon of Levante.
