"Medium red. Shockingly fresh on the nose, which displays seductive red berry, floral and Asian spice scents. Sappy, sweet and velvety in texture, offering energetic redcurrant and cherry flavors and notes of rose pastille and anise. Becomes more floral with air and finishes with impressively persistent flavors of rose and sweet red fruits. This appears to be aging at a snail's pace."

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.
Spain's noble red grape, producing structured, savory wines of red fruit and leather that respond beautifully to oak aging in Rioja and Ribera del Duero.
