Tasting
Cherry red color with violet tones, clear. Intense, fresh and elegant nose where sensations of berry, strawberry and raspberry as well as floral notes of violets dominate. In the background, but very well integrated, hints of vanilla, tobacco and minerals. Elegant and silky on the palate. The attack is fresh, with berry sensations. Rounded, soft and silky tannins. With its balanced acidity, this wine shows a clear Atlantic character, where the freshness and varietal notes dominate in perfect harmony with the wood aromas which add background complexity to the wine.

Alcohol: 14%
