Varieties: Garnacha from the Centenera vineyard, which covers an area of 3.25 hectares and was planted in 1916.

without resorting to additives or other corrective measures.

Ageing: Natural malolactic fermentation took place on the lees in new, 500-litre French-oak barrels, for a period of 12 months. The wine was left to age further in the same barrels for a further 8 months.

Bottling: March 2011. Bottling without clarification or filtration.

Serving temperature: 15-17ºC

Tasting Notes: A clean and brilliant wine with a deep red cherry colour. The tantalizing fusion of the Garnacha and oak bring together a wide range of complex aromas on the nose; blackberry jam, raisins, liquorice and cocoa against a mineral background with balsamic nuances of rosemary and thyme. Notes of orange blossom are revealed as the wine slowly opens up. The wine packs a punch on the palate. It is elegant, mouth-filling and well structured with a delightful meatiness and pleasant persistence. A wine with great personality which will further improve over time.

Ideal as an accompaniment to all kinds of meat, sews, cured meat products, cheese, red tuna, rice and pasta.
