A selection of very low-yield vineyards, of around 1.500 kg/ha, set on some steep slopes at the foot of the Moncayo mountain range. Although these foothills are difficult to cultivate, these vineyards still withstand the passing of time.

Tasting: Cherry red black with violet tones. Very deep robe which makes it almost opaque. Very intense and attractive bouquet. Sweet and complex, with a predominance of caramelised black fruit, spices, caramelised sugars and mineral notes. A wine which explodes in the mouth, completely filling the palate, opening up and leaving an extensive amalgam of flavours. Very mature, sweet tannin with exquisite acidity, which is a guarantee that this is a great wine for storing.

Serving temperature: 16 / 18ºC

A selection of very low-yield vineyards, situated on land stretching from the high foothills of the Moncayo mountain range in Aragon up to the warmer lands crossed by the river Queiles, in the autonomous community of Navarre. The grape harvest starts in the lowlands around mid-September and continues until well into October, when the grapes in the highest vineyards are harvested. The grapes are harvested in 15 kg boxes which are quickly taken to the Winery where they are sorted to ensure that only optimum quality grapes are used in the winemaking process.

Tasting: Cherry red black with a violet rim and deep robe. Intense aroma dominated by fine wood (cocoa, toasted and smoked woods), perfectly combined with ripe black fruit. The typical liquorice of the predominant Tempranillo also appears, in addition to some syrupy notes. Full-bodied and fleshy on the palate with an unusual strength and structure that need to be mastered and which predict a great wine.

Tasting: Intense, brilliant cherry red colour with a deep robe. Fine and elegant on the nose, with a predominance of red fruit, spices and a few balsamic notes which makes the wine complex and pleasant. Agreeable palate with finesse, despite its strength, leaving a tasty aftertaste, exhibiting an abundance of fruit flavours and hints of mineral notes.
