Tasting Notes
Cherry red colour with lots of extract. A complex bouquet in the nose involves fruity aromas in combination with toasted and spicy ones. Smooth and elegant in the mouth with delicate tannins and a long finish. Beautifully balanced and full-bodied. Earthy and luscious.
92 Points (2011)
Deep aromas of strawberries, black cherries and blackberries, not to mention herbal and oaky undertones. Full body and a smooth texture follow through to a long, rich and spicy finish. Drink now.
DO Mentrida, Spain
Region & Vineyard Notes
Méntrida is a Spanish Denominacion de Origen (DO) in the province of Toledo, Spain, near Madrid. The continental-Mediterranean climate is characterised by extreme temperature variations, from harsh winters to hot summers. The soil is alluvial, from the erosion of the granite massifs in Spain's central plateau, and is basically sandy loam in the gullies, with an acid pH and a high silicate content. No chemical herbicides or fertilisers are used; manure is applied as a soil improver.
