Wine Tasting Notes
A true reflection of the land and our vineyard. Tempranillo grapes, from low-yield vineyards. Its flavor makes it a perfect match for game, the famous roast lamb, and aged cheeses. It's delicious with any baked fish.
We are captivated by its intense, vibrant, deep garnet color. |
