The best game is one in which you do not realize you’re playing. There are no winners or losers, only the enjoyment of the experience. The ability to enjoy every moment of life is the essence of youth, like the vineyards that give rise to this wine.
Ademán Carabizal
Vineyards and wine making
Wire-trained vines with an average age of 35 years. Hand-picking harvest in craters follows by sorting the grapes in the winery and pursuing an optimum control process of aroma and polyphenol extraction. Fermentation in controlled temperature for 17 days with two daily pumping over. Aged for 5 months in medium toasted French oak barrels.
Tasting notes
Amaranthine and violet colour filled with red berries and wild berries aromas, hints of sweet and spices with roasted notes. Fresh and broad on the palate, with a perfect balance between wood and fruit, and this leads to highlight the intensity of Tinta de Toro variety with frank aromas of French oak. Silky and long pleasant aftertaste.
Food pairing
An ideal accompaniment to red meats and cured meats. It is also an excellent partner with pasta dishes and white fish. Optimum drinking temperature is 14-16 °C. These wines are ready for drinking now but may potentially be cellared for approximately 4 years under optimum conditions (16 °C) at 70-80% relative humidity, at a constant temperature.
