Tasting notes:

The vineyards comprising 90-yearold Garnacha vines are located in the municipios of Cárdenas and Bajarán at altitudes of 600m–700m altitude in the Alto Najerilla subzone. The soils are very deep sandy loam with ferrous-calcareous veins. The wine is deep ruby-coloured with bright cranberry, strawberry and cherry fruit overlaid with creamy-toasty oak notes. Sweet-fruited, the palate has bracing acidity and delicate, silky tannins supporting the flavours, which are layered and textured with spices coming through. An elegant wine that would be delicious with roast leg of lamb with a rub of garlic and dry mustard. (Patricia Stefanowicz MW)
