An exquisite red wine, with a juicy, delightful palate revealing all the fruity aromas of Grenache.

More info

The Grenache grapes originate from a single plot nestling in the Ebro valley, consisting of limestone and clay-iron sediments. The vines, which average 30 years and rise from a gentle slope, flourish as a result of organic farming practices. Neither fertilisers nor chemical weedkillers are used, allowing the fruit to express its full personality naturally. In the winery, the grapes are lightly destemmed before being pressed. Alcoholic fermentation then occurs in wooden vats with the help of indigenous yeasts naturally present on the fruit. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation is then carried out in large casks. The final step is to age the wine in tuns for 18 months before bottling.
The elegant vermilion colour reveals an expressive nose of red berries and black cherries. The fruity aromas reveal a hint of orange leading to a generous finish.
