Deep garnet red hue with violet glints. The nose reveals intense aromas of cistus and heather combined with delicate flinty notes. The palate is fresh and elegant with coated tannins and notes of liquorice and aniseed. This red wine offers excellent structure and an attractive mineral backbone. Surprising!
