Crafted from the Mencia grape, this wine showcases a medium upright vine with a moderate vigor, producing small to medium-sized berries that are beautifully dark purple in hue. The grapes are harvested during a precise window, typically from the first week of September to the first week of October, ensuring optimal ripeness.

On the nose, expect to encounter enticing notes of violet complemented by fresh aromas with a marked minerality. There are intriguing hints reminiscent of cappuccino, providing a fascinating olfactory experience with a lengthy development of nuances. On the palate, the wine perfectly embodies its terroir with a chalky flavor, beautifully integrated acidity, and an exuberant profile that is both round and delightful.
