Geographic information: Almargen, north Málaga mountain ranges at an altitude of 520 metres. Despite being just 90 km away from the Costa del Sol the climate is generally continental. The winters are cold, which benefits vine dormancy and hot summers which benefit fruit ripening resulting in high quality, healthy grapes. The land is of the sandy loam soil type with gravelly texture. Harvest: The grape is selected from the vine, manually collected and placed in individual crates of 10-12 kg. Vinification: Prefermentation cold maceration and alcoholic fermentation at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks in order to protect the grape’s organoleptic properties. DESCRIPTION Appearance: Deep depth with hues between purple-red and burgundy-violet with violet rim. Clean and brilliant reflecting its youth and vivacity. These traits are coupled with the nobleness and elegance rendered by the cabernet sauvignon and merlot varieties. Aroma: Intensely reminiscent of ripe red fruit (blackberry and redcurrant) with slight hints of milk and herbaceous aromas. Flavour: Smooth in mouth and well balanced with good body which is fleshy and well structured. The richness in tannins of these grape varieties coupled with an adequate ripening period results in a soft acidic after taste and slight astringency which disappears quickly. Pleasantly persistent. Gastronomic pairing: Pairs well with appetisers, starters and lightly condimented meat as well as dark chocolate. Serve chilled between 15º and 18º C.
