TASTING NOTES
Visual
It is surprising for its yellowish hue, with a certain intensity and grayish nuances, despite the use of red grapes in its preparation. After the gentle pressing of the grapes, a certain shade of salmon still remained, but with the fermentations and a lengthy stacking stage, those more pinkish nuances have dissipated to give rise to a sparkling white red wine.
Nose
On the nose it shows creamy and patisserie notes, accompanied by fresher tones of aromatic plants. It has great complexity due to the five years spent in the bottle, with notes of fallen leaves and white pepper. It also shows light tones of red fruit that denote the presence of Garnacha Tinta. It is an intense and very complex aroma that is constantly evolving in the glass.
Palate
On the palate it stands out for its harmony and its pleasing sensation, always accompanied by the freshness typical of the Alto Najerilla region. The bubbles are very integrated into the sweet sensation that the Garnacha Tinta variety transmits, and it leaves certain hints of citrus that give it more complexity. The lengthy stacking period in the bottlenfavors a great balance and in turn generates more enveloping and pleasant bubbles that harmonize the entire journey in the mouth and make it pleasing and fresh at all levels.
