General

Tasting Notes:Brick red colour with golden honey highlights. In the nose it displays aromas of fresh, dried, stewed or cooked fruits: quince, caramel, jam and also spices (vanilla and cinnamon). On the palate it confirms and distinguishes the flavours of the different aromas detected. An intense, persistent, full-flavoured, sweet and natural aftertaste.

Vineyard

% of Grape / Cépage:A natural sweet wine made with very ripe grapes of Lledoner Roig (Garnatxa Roja) from vines over 50 years old. After destalking, they are macerated at very low temperature to allow alcoholic fermentation to begin slowly. This process is halted at 15 degrees by adding vinic alcohol. Finally, a geing by means of the ‘solera' system in casks of different woods (acacia, cherry, chestnut and oak) give the wine its definitive personality.
