"Made from dry-grown old-vine monastrell, garnacha tintorera, tempranillo and syrah, the wine is immensely complex with dark berry, cedar, tapenade, dark chocolate and dried herb notes on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate displaying excellent weight and plush mouthfeel. It's superbly structured by loads of fine chalky tannins, finishing wonderfully long and splendidly dry. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2021

"A blend of Monastrell, Garnache, Tintorera, Tempranillo and Syrah. Deep, inky red with a deliciously sumptuous texture and dark berry, liquorice, cedar, leather and charcuterie flavours. A powerful, complex red" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2021

Dark ruby red with an intense and complex nose of spicy wild plums, prunes and roasted peppers. Vibrant and elegant on the palate with good structure, balanced acidity and firm polished tannins. It is full bodied with a lingering, silky finish.

This is a red blend of 25% Monastrell, 25% Tempranillo, 25% Syrah and 25% Garnacha Tintorera grown in Spain.

Tempranillo grapes are harvested in the second week of September, Garnacha Tintorera and Syrah grapes at the end of September and Monastrell in the third week of October. The grapes for this wine are chosen from the best plots on our estates, hand-harvested for higher concentrations of tannins at the optimal moment of phenolic ripeness for each variety. Maceration takes place during 22 days at 29 °C with manual pumping of the young wine. Once racked the wine on its lees undergoes manual bâtonnage up to once a month after malolactic fermentation. The four varieties are then blended for ageing in 500 litre fine grain French Allier oak casks for up to 14 months. The wine is then bottled unfiltered to mature for a further 18 months prior to release.
