Making and Ageing

Vineyards, Monastrell selected from La Raja vineyards, between the mountain ranges of La Pila and El Carche.

Manual harvest in 15 KG crates the first week of September.

Ageing, 5 months in medium toast French oak barrel.

Tasting Notes

Red colour with violet shades, clean and brilliant. Wild plum colour.

Medium intensity in nose, in which dominates the fruit of the variety, red fruits, next to reminiscences of toast given by the barrel.

In mouth entrance is slightly warm compensated by an acidity which provides a very well balanced and round wine. We find a mature tannin which together to the one of the barrel make the wine lasts in mouth.

Retronasal, like in nose, it is presented fruity and with notes of the barrel.

Pairing

Ideal to pair red meat, small game, cheese and Iberian sausages.
