Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

Grown on steep rocky terraces built by the Romans, this medium-bodied wine is lively and juicy showing distinct notes of smoke, charred red cherry fruit, and tart red currant. Super fresh and expressive, this great Spanish bottling is stainless steel fermented and sees no oak.
