Tasting
The wine has garnet red color with a marked violet rim of middle layer, with very balsamic notes of the menthol range, red fruit and orange rust.

It is a spicy character reminiscent of the Galician Atlantic forest (oak inflorescences, nettle).

On the palate it is a very fresh and acid wine, with a crispy, citric and persistent tannin has a very meaty finish.
