Our wine comes from an old, forgotten barrel in a historic winery. A recovered treasure.
For us, the most important thing is the great balance we find in such old wines.
Acidity, sweetness and depth complement each other very well, and everything is wrapped in the ancient aromas
of the century-old oak.
TASTING:
"Very deep mahogany color and orange tile trim with greenish highlights, with a high layer and great density.
It smells like a noble piece of furniture, enveloped by a delicious aroma of coffee, nuts, dates, black tea..."
On the palate, it has a sweet entry balanced by very high acidity. Its aromas are long-lasting, almost eternal, and very intense.
It tastes like old mahogany, like a very old barrel and a time long gone by."
PAIRING:
Due to its excellent structure, it's a perfect wine to enjoy on its own. It also works well after dinner, pairing with cocoa-based desserts and traditional cakes. It pairs well with nougat, marzipan, and chocolates.
In Alicante, it is a tradition that it accompanies the great celebrations,
