Colour: A clear medium ruby hue indicative of its youth and moderate tannin extraction.
Nose: The wine displays a complex array of aromas with prominent red fruit, notes of ripe cherry, raspberry and subtle strawberry, complemented by secondary aromas of dried herbs and whiffs of white pepper.
Palate: On the palate the wine is medium-bodied with fine tannins. The red fruit characters follow through onto the palate with additional layers of blackberry and pomegranate. A bright acidity provides an excellent counterpoint to the fruit, while a slight earthiness on the mid-palate, with notes of gravel and subtle spice, adds complexity to this well-balanced wine.
A flavoursome dish like paella would pair well with the complex flavours in this wine, while an array of tapas dishes would also work well.
