Nose
A red of great substance and power, with expressive aromas reminiscent of white pepper, spices and certain very attractive wild notes.
Palate
On the palate it is powerful and dense, with great structure and balanced acidity, which gives it very good freshness. Sweet tannins with a great texture and a long and deep finish.
Growing Conditions
The high-altitude Tannat is like a cactus flower: beautiful and nice, blooming once every many years. The grapes used to make them are collected from the upper part of the vineyard, in a terroir affected by its high drainage and sunlight levels.

The wines are not filtered but have natural decantation.
