TASTING NOTES
Intense and vibrant color, with a garnet core and a bright ruby ​​rim. Aromas of black fruits and spices with a touch of stony minerality. On the palate, this is a full-bodied wine with delicious ripe fruit and soft tannins. The fruity and toasted notes enrich the structure and natural complexity of the old vines. A full and rounded sensation.

WINEMAKING AND AGING
100% organic grapes are hand-picked in 20kg boxes, respecting the harvest times according to the variety and terroir. Before entering the winery, the grapes are chilled at 4°C for 24 hours. After destemming the grapes (leaving 25% whole), they are incubated in various tanks made of different materials (stainless steel, concrete, and wood) where maceration takes place and spontaneous fermentation begins with indigenous yeasts. Part of the wine (Garnacha) is then transferred to a 5,000-liter Austrian oak foudre for 15 months of aging, while the remainder completes the FML and ages for 24 months in 500 and 600-liter French and Austrian oak barrels.

PAIRING
This is an ideal wine for any type of grilled meat.
