Wine

This wine is a unique blend of Merlot and Tempranillo, made without added sulfites.

It opens with vibrant aromas of crushed raspberries, wild strawberries, and a hint of cherry compote, lifted by a subtle note of dried herbs and liquorice. On the palate, it is juicy, fresh, and fruit-forward, with soft tannins and a lively acidity that makes it effortlessly drinkable. The mid-palate is supple and smooth, with a touch of spice and earthiness from the Tempranillo. The finish is clean, slightly savoury, and refreshing, encouraging another sip.

Serve slightly chilled (around 14°C). A perfect match for charcuterie, grilled meats, tapas, or even pizza. Ideal for relaxed, casual gatherings or as a vibrant wine by the glass.
