Taste Profile

It presents a bright clarity of cherry red color with an open intensity and medium persistence tear. On the nose, this wine has a pronounced intensity aroma, characterized by spices, red fruit, mint, and eucalyptus. It's worth noting the caramelized and smoky aromas acquired through aging in French oak barrels.

The taste is dry with refreshing acidity and a light alcohol content of a light body. Towards the end, the presence of balanced tannins is noticeable. The mouthfeel is similar to the nose, of fine quality. Medium persistence, pleasant, and with a harmonious balance.

It's a wine for keeping with good aging potential, but it can also be consumed immediately. Regarding gastronomic pairings, it can accompany a cheese and cured meats board, pastas, grilled dishes, and even stews. It can be drunk by itself, for moments of relaxation.
