ELABORATION

Grapes from the Cuesta la Reina estate, a hillside facing the sun with poor soils where the family has been cultivating the vineyard for four generations. A place from which very fine and elegant wines are obtained, capable of expressing all the character of the land in which they are grown.
Grapes harvested by hand and selected in the vineyards to ensure that only the best quality bunches arrive at the winery. Fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts. Once the fermentation is finished, it is macerated for at least 10 days. The wine is aged in American oak barrels with an average age of 5 years and remains in them for at least 24 months. During this time, six rackings are made. Once cleaned, the wine is bottled, remaining in the bottle rack before going on the market for at least 28 months.

TASTING NOTES

Brick red colour with a good coating.
Clean, complex and with good intensity on the nose, aromas of red fruits well combined with those of ageing, balsamic, spices (pepper), tobacco and leather.
Good structure, tasty, wide, smooth but with character and a good harmony in its flavours. Complex and clean via retro-nasal.

FOOD MATCH

Jamón serrano and Ibéríco. Aged cheese, red meat, stews and game.
