It lies in northern Spain, by the side of the River Ebro from which the region’s name derived. Elegance and poise is the hallmark of the wines shaped in this ancient region. The variety of its soils, together with the combination of modern and traditional growing practices allow winemakers to produce a wide range of wines that exhibit different personalities.

An enticing soft vanilla oak aroma on the nose is complemented in he mouth by rich flours of juicy cherries and spiced red fruits. Delicate hits of coconut and chocolate add complexity to this rewarding wine.

Technical Information
The grapes are harvested in optimal conditions of maturation. A period of cold maceration follows to extract the colour of the skins and the fruit aromas. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks takes place at a controlled temperature (25 - 28 ºC ) over a period of 10-12 days. This wine is left to age for a period of 12 months in new American oak barrels.
