Tasting Notes

Intense cherry-red color, with vivid reflections and great visual depth.

The nose displays a marked Mediterranean expression: ripe black fruits, balsamic notes, valley scrubland, aromatic plants, and a mineral background with hints of dark chocolate.

On the palate, it shows a broad and savory entry. Ripe tannins integrate with a refreshing acidity that balances the whole. Enveloping, elegant, and persistent, with a long and harmonious finish.

Pairing

Ideal with traditional inland dishes, game meat, oily fish, and even dark chocolate preparations.

A red wine that combines tradition, technique, and landscape. Powerful yet balanced, profound without losing freshness, a faithful reflection of Guadalest's Mediterranean character.
