TASTING NOTE:
Made using Monastrell and Syrah grapes, with a short time spent in new oak barrels. Intense red colour with blueish glints; the fruit stands out over underlying notes of well-integrated toasted wood. Its freshness contrasts with ripe tannins, and it is inviting on the palate with a long finish that reveals discreet hints of spice.
