D.O. Alicante
Grape variety: Monastrell and other varieties (Garnacha Tintorera, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon)
Tasting Notes:
Red cherry colour with a shade of violet reflections. On the nose it shows clean notes of red fruit (raspberry) well assembled with its wood (discrete toast and black pepper). Nice and fresh medium structure, well balanced with sweet blackberry and dusty tannins.
