The character of the grape variety comes clearly to the fore: fine red fruit, a touch of sweetness, juicy and round on the palate, refined and elegant, with soft, ripe and beautifully integrated tannins and a particularly seductive finish reminiscent of raspberry candy. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with light tannins that give it an authentic, earthy texture. The limited edition of 2,500 bottles was bottled in July 2023.

Fermentation in lagares with indigenous yeasts for an authentic expression of the terroir. Aged for one year in 300-liter French oak barrels of more than 10 years old.
