Tasting Notes
A representative wine of the classic Rioja style, interpreted from modernity, with the structure and freshness of Tempranillo. Elegant, balanced and reliable on any occasion, with classic aromas of red fruit, vanilla and subtle hints of licorice. Very versatile wine paring with all kinds of mediterranean dishes (pasta, rice, pizza, etc.), everyday favorites and, of course, all sort of tapas.
