This young and lively wine, considered Taberners little brother is from one of the leading wineries in Andalucia. It is made from a blend of 60% Syrah, 20% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Tintilla de Rota. Fermentation of the Syrah, Cabernet and Merlot takes place in stainless steel whilst the Tintilla de Rota is fermented in wooden 500 litre fermentation vats. The wine is then aged for six months in one and two year old French Allier oak barriques. A complex nose of dried cherries, blackberries, cranberry and savoury balsamic notes. These characters continue onto the plalate along with sweet spice and black fruit. Complex and multi-layered with sufficient tannin and acidity to add structure and length. This powerful wine will stand up to fat steaks, rich peppery sauces and all manner of big meats.
