75cl/14.5% ABV La Mancha, Spain
This Cuvée special is a blend of wines made with grapes from
different plots and displays the great potential of our mountain
vineyards. With a majority of Grenache variety, combined with
grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon and merlot, and having benefited
from an ageing period in oak barrels, this wine reveals the special
aromatic intensity, elegance and complexity typically brought by
our cool climate mountain vineyards.
WINE-MAKING
Temperature-controlled fermentations using indigenous yeasts are
carried out in concrete vats followed by long ageing in French and
American oak barrels.
ViNES
Mountain vineyards of Grenache 60%, Cabernet Sauvignon 30% and
Merlot 10% produce wines with cool climate characteristics thanks
to the proximity of the Pyrenees. The vines are located around the
tiny village of Sada, in the north-east corner of Navarra.
TASTING NOTES
A medium-deep dark cherry colour with a ruby rim. Complex
aromas of ripe plums, black fruit, toast and cocoa. Flavoursome on
the palate with pleasant tannins and fine oak. A long, very full finish
with spices coming through.
