This flagship wine has been part of the winery's line-up since its inception and was awarded the Silver medal at the Challenge International du Vin in 2016. The wine is made from grapes grown at 490m above sea level and from vines over 25 years old in the Rioja region, which is renowned for its high quality Tempranillo grapes. The wine has a beautiful dark ruby colour and its flavour is like a merry-go-round. The first sip is soft with perfectly matured tannins, but as the wine is drunk, ripe fruit, vanilla, coconut and many other flavours become more and more apparent.
