Description:
This Gran Reserva is a blend of Tempranillo 87%, Graciano 5% and Mazuelo 8%. Selecting the best grape and obtaining the best wine are a painstaking process, because of the necessary demands of quality in the production of these wines, there are years that are not suitable for obtaining a Gran Reserva. Only in good years are the grape selected for Gran Reserva. The production process is based on very careful ageing lasing twenty-four months in American and French oak casks, with periodic decanting and serene ageing in bottles, where the wine remains until it reaches it optimum conditions for consumption. The wine is a beautiful cherry red colour with light ochre tones. The bouquet is fine and elegant, with certain toasted aromas that develop with aeration towards balsamic, tobacco and sweet, fleshy fruit. A smooth and velvety taste is evident which fills the palate. Tasty, structured, with tannic sensations of figs, honey and ripe fruit, this Gran Reserva's exit is harmonious and persistent with a long finish.
