�� Appearance Deep ruby red in the glass with dark crimson tones, showing good colour concentration typical of Mediterranean red blends. �� Aroma (Nose) Spicy and aromatic with notes of cranberry, blackberry and dark cherry. Subtle hints of vanilla, cocoa and sweet spice emerge from oak maturation, adding depth and complexity. �� Palate Medium-to-full bodied with rich flavours of dark cherry, plum and brambly berry fruit. Layers of spice and gentle oak integrate smoothly across the palate, delivering both fruit intensity and savoury complexity. ⚖️ Structure Well structured with round, supple tannins and balanced acidity. The wine is matured in American and French oak, which adds texture and aromatic complexity while maintaining fruit purity. �� Finish Long and smooth with lingering dark fruit, gentle spice and soft oak notes that leave a harmonious, rounded finish. �� Overall Style A modern Spanish Crianza red blend combining Monastrell’s dark fruit richness with Tempranillo’s structure and elegance. The wine offers Mediterranean warmth, ripe fruit and polished tannins, making it an approachable yet characterful Valencia red. ��️ Food Pairing Ideal with grilled lamb, chorizo, slow-cooked beef, smoky barbecue dishes, tomato-based pasta or aged cheeses.
