Winemaking process
Young red wine made with a combination of tips of bunches of Tempranillo grapes and grapes with the stems removed. Before being fermented in stainless steel tanks, they will macerate for a long time, short fermentations in stainless steel tanks in combination with the traditional stomping of the bunches, what will give this wine a strong personality and making it different from the rest of young wines of this kind.
Tasting Note
Special mention should be made to its fruity aromas of red currents and black berries. It leaves an agreeable and lasting taste in the mouth with hints of liquorice. The lack of astringency makes it pleasant to the palate and it is the most important feature that differentiates the carbonic macerated wines.
Pairing
Intense wine which is ideal with season salads, pasta, rice dishes, red and roasted meats.
