Description

Deep garnet red. It is very intense in aromas, combining the typical notes of high quality Tempranillo such as cranberries and redcurrants with herbaceous notes, like fennel that give it a unique profile. Aromas added by quality French oak barrels, including cinnamon and vanilla appear in a second layer. Ripe and elegant, with a good balance between fruit, oak and acidity. The French oak gives sweet tannins that help give structure. Flavours of caramel and tobacco appear with a long, sweet finish.

Viticulture

A series of vineyards were selected to create this centenary edition, where a number of unique factors occur in conjunction, allowing us to obtain the highest quality grapes.

Vinification

The winemaking methods were chosen specifically to acheive the maximum potency and expression of the personality of the Tempranillo grape. At least 14 months in medium toast French oak barrels and at least 6 months in bottle before release.

Maturation

At least 14 months in medium toast French oak barrels and at least 6 months in bottle before release.

Food Pairing

Thanks to its great structure, it is the ideal wine for serving with chargrilled poultry, pork or red meat, helping to bring out its flavour and achieve a harmonious pairing. Its balanced acidity and enveloping sensation on the palate also allow us to enjoy this wine with fish dishes like cod baked in the oven or in a "pil-pil" sauce, and oily fish such as salmon, tuna, fresh mackeral, shark, swordfish or tuna.
