Tasting sheet
Elaboration:
It comes from our Torrosillo, La Retama, La ladera and El Castillo estates, located on sandy and very poor land that gives us little grape per vine. After harvesting by hand, fermentation occurs naturally in small tanks with indigenous yeasts. Maceration can last up to three weeks. It rests a total of 24 months in new French oak barrels.
CATA's notes:
Intense purple red color with cardinal hues. On the nose it is broad and, again, intense, with predominant aromas of black fruit compote, mint, cocoa and a slight background of toasted and caramelized tones. It also contains very fine and complex aromas that evolve throughout the tasting. In the taste phase, the first sensations are fresh and friendly, giving way to the smoothness and meatiness that characterize the wine. We finish with a long aftertaste recalling the spicy and caramelized aromas.
Pairing:
Grilled meat, stews and game stew. Ideal for pasta or rice dishes, above all it will stand out from the
of a subtle and delicate dish
