About the wine

Tasting notes

On the nose, it is distinguished by aromas of red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle notes of vanilla and spices imparted by its time in barrels. On the palate, it is smooth and sophisticated, with gentle tannins that contribute a pleasant freshness. Its finish is persistent, leaving a lingering memory of wild berries and a delicate hint of wood. A wine that invites you to savour it leisurely.

Expert review

Blushing light ruby with a tight nose of floral tea, wild red berries and subtle spice. In the mouth it's structured, long and tensely bound within an elegant frame that boasts concentration of fruit and focused acidity. This is a very serious 1er Cru from Navatalgordo that has the structure and quality to last decades!

Wine Worth Writing About

The Grape

Grenache

Grenache, (or Garnacha), is one of the most important red grape varieties in the world and is responsible for some of the most expensive and collected wines out there. It's the key variety for making elegant Châteauneuf-du-Pape and rich GSM's, but is brilliant as a stand alone variety and makes wines with a medium body, but intense and often spicy flavours of deep red fruits, black cherry, charred plum, leather, blood orange, dried herbals and cinnamon. From crisp and crunchy, to velvety and rich, this versatile grape is awesome!
