Winemaker's Notes:

 Red violet color, with purple hues. The aroma of the wine leaves subtle memories of ripen fruits (blackcurrants, raspberries). On the palate it is fresh, structured and very fruity. 100% Tempranillo. Ideally suited with BBQ beef and poultry as well as vegetables or salad.

The label is temperature sensitive and the equestrian & horse image will show a blue outline when the optimum drinking temp is reached.
