Tasting
The nose shows high intensity of fresh red fruit, stone, mineral, dried flowers, thyme, very complex. Elegant, fine and with acidity on the palate. Powerful finish, but sweet and fresh, surprising its depth.
Food pairings
Idea to accompany paellas, shellfish and aperitifs. It even pairs very well with a plate of cured ham.
