Region

Spain’s most internationally famous wine region is renowned for creating top quality wines with exceptional ageing ability. 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, always within the framework that their long-established Qualified Denominación de Origen demands from them. .

Tasting Notes

Vibrant ruby red in colour with aromas of black pepper and cloves, raspberry and plum on the nose and a wonderful powerful but silky palate thanks to the perfect balance between acidity and tannins. A lovely elegant wine with a long finish.

Food Pairing

A perfect partner for all kinds of meat, cured cheeses and roasts.

Technical Information

The grapes are carefully selected and handpicked. The fermentation process is undertaken at a controlled temperature (25-28 ºC) for 10-12 days before they are put through a maceration process (5-10 days). This ensures that the wine acquires its characteristic colour. Finally the wine is aged for 12 months in new American oak barrels, with further time to mature in bottle.
