Tasting Notes
Deep cherry red in colour, quite dark and intense. On the nose, it displays aromas of sweet matured fruit; and aromas of soft and new oak. The palate is fruity, elegant, pleasant and well balanced, thanks to the perfect balance between acidity and tannins. It has an intense and long finish.
Food Pairing
This Reserva is a perfect partner for all kinds of meats, warm soups and stews, chorizo, cured cheeses, etc.
Technical Information
The grapes are carefully selected and handpicked. Then, they undergo the fermentation process at a controlled temperature (26-29ºC) for ten to twelve days. After that, the twelve-day maceration process allows the skins to be in contact with must; this ensures that the wine acquires its characteristic colour and polished tannins. Finally the wine is aged for eighteen months in new American oak barrels, before resting quietly in bottles to ensure complete maturity.
