Intense red shading to tawny at the rim. A range of different aroma characteristics including: black cherry fruit, balsamic, leather, tobacco and vanilla oak lead to a rounded palate of concentrated red fruit flavours and mellow tannins and a smooth finish. Medium to full bodied with a lovely finesse.
Tempranillo grapes were hand picked from 30 year-old vines in late August/early September. Valdepeñas means “valley of rocks”, the soils are clayey lime with a chalky layer which retains water to refresh the vines. Altitude helps moderate the classic continental climate: cold winters and long hot, dry summers. Fermentation was at controlled temperatures (below 28º C) in stainless steel tanks. The wine was then matured for at least twenty-four months in oak barriques with varying toasting levels.
Aged for 7 Years in the cellars of Bogedas Navalon, this wine exhibits classic mature flavors of black cherry, leather, tobacco, and vanilla. Bodegas Navalon is surrounded by the ancient vineyards of DO Valdepeñas in the heart of Spain. The bodega has been the passion of the same local family for several generations.
