Cherry red colour with garnet rim, intense aromas of black fruit, blackberries, and blueberries, accompanied by deep aromas of fresh red fruit, along with creamy notes of coffee and a background of vanilla. Intense, well-rounded, and silky on the palate with flavours of black and red fruits of the forest, vanilla, and mineral notes of chalk. In the retronasal, notes of black fruit and vanilla appear, with a very long finish. The texture of the chalky soil can also be appreciated, with a slightly drying mid-palate.

We collected goblet-trained Tempranillos over 50 years of age in the municipalities of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, El Villar and Ábalos, Grenache from the municipality of Badarán and Graciano from our Finca la Asperilla at the foot of Clavijo castle.
