Chardonnay and Parellada are blended after careful fermentation of a percentage in Limousin oak barrels, thus retaining the character of each variety. The result is a magnificent, intense wine. Thanks to the presence of the Chardonnay, the wine is intensely aromatic and full-bodied, with a profusion of flowery notes over a fruity background and a hint of fennel. On the palate the wine has a long aftertaste and is silky with an elegant fullness. A touch of vanilla in the finish is indicative of the wine's short ageing in French oak. (12 x 75 cl)
The rich, sensual aroma is typical of the grape varieties as small red and black berries including cherries and blackcurrants are evident while hints of green coffee beans, liquorice give way to the characteristic vanilla and leather notes from ageing. On the palate the wine is full and silky with dense, well-structured tannins. This wine is made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo to produce a deep red hue colour with ochre and brick-red touches from its ageing. (12 x 75 cl)
