Product notes

Cherry intense color. On the palate, this Garnacha shows more of the darker fruits and is characteristic for its mineral traits, with notes of grafite, and wet pebbles. Tannins are quite present, yet ripe on a full body. Balsamic and herbal long finish.

Tasting notes

Intense cherry color; this is a really complex wine with a high mineral taste and balsamic aroma.
