Balbás Reserva is tangible proof of the elegance, balance and diligence that characterise Bodegas Balbás and its vineyards. This wine embodies finesse in all its glory, with a slight touch of Cabernet Sauvignon. Smooth from start to finish, rounded and balanced, each tasting offers up fresh nuances thanks to its conscientious vinification and ageing.
A beautiful ruby red with orange hues, its aromas of ripe black fruits with hints of black pepper, toast and chocolate, together with a pleasant meatiness in the mouth, reflect the complexity of this wine, the result of dedication and the careful passage of time.
