Climate: Mediterranean microclimate with Atlantic influence

Elaboration
Destemmed and pressed grape, with fermentation posterior in stainless steel tanks.

Tasting
Cherry red and medium layer, very clean and bright wine. On the nose, once the reductive notes typical of the variety disappear, there is an explosion of red fruit (raspberry, cherry) and blackberries, which together with the combined lactic notes remind us of trinkets (strawberry lollipops).

Very present mineral notes (graphite).

The attack on the palate is fresh, but as it runs through the mouth, we find an enveloping, warm wine that reflects the excellent relationship between acidity and glycerin.
