Features
New wine from La Rioja made of Tempranillo and Garnacha from two different vineyards. The winemaking process takes place separately for each variety. The wine from the property called Henares was produced in stainless steel tanks, without any ageing in wood. The wine from the property El Rejón was aged in three-year-old French oak barrels for 14 months. Once the blend was made, the wine stayed for 9 additional months in oak.
Still in the line of the puzzle collection, its label shows a wordsearch.
A very interesting wine with a very good value for money.
Color
Bright cherry colour with violet edges. A wine with a high layer and good tears.
Nose
Its seductive aromas emerge slowly, gently. Its notes of red fruit are wrapped in aromas of chocolate, diverse spices (vanilla, pepper, ...), liquorice and fragrant flowers. An elegant toasted finish rounds out this aromatic and creamy set.
Flavour
Wine with a good attack and a nice and fruity mid palate full of delicious notes of juicy fruit. It shows a good acidity and polished tannins. Good finish with enough persistence and a slight bitterness that disappears progressively.
