Bright ruby red, mellowing to brick red at the edges. A range of characteristics can be identified on the nose - pepper, balsamic, leather, tobacco and black cherry fruit. Medium-bodied palate with elegant, ripe flavours and excellent depth.
Aged in the cellars of Bodegas Navalón in the small DO Valdepeñas, located in the heart of Spain. Bodegas Navalón has been the passion of the same local family for several generations. This is exactly the sort of wine one would expect from the classic, upscale package - a traditional, Spanish, oak-aged Tempranillo, but with an intensity of fruit and complexity that is unusual. The Tempranillo grapes were hand-picked at the optimum point of ripeness from 30-year-old vines in stony Valdepeñas vineyards. The soil is clayey lime and the climate continental - cold winters and hot, dry summers. After fermenting in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 15 days, the wine is aged in French and American oak for a minimum of two years.
