This Spanish wine, made with 90% tempranillo grapes, is a lovely garnet color with violet notes. On the nose, it has a surprising aromatic intensity, with red fruits and licorice in balance with aromas of vanilla and cocoa (and a hint of caramel). This wine is smooth on the palate, with a long and fruity aftertaste. It is a pleasant, fresh red that’s the perfect accompaniment to all the dishes of the Mediterranean diet. It’s also lovely with grilled octopus.
