Brilliant ruby red with violet reflections. Intense and fresh nose with authentic red fruit, Mediterranean and mineral notes. On the palate, it is light and fluid, with fine tannins, balanced acidity, and a persistent fresh fruit flavor, with a saline elegance that prolongs the finish.

The ancient land of La Canyada awakens in this bottle where the wine embraces the amphora. Its light and mineral pulse whispers stories of centenary vines to the wind, while celebrating simplicity with a freshness that caresses the Mediterranean soul.
