After a rainy winter, the growing season in 2016 was extremely dry. Tempranillo in the higher altitude sites was picked around October 10th. After fermentation, the wine was matured for 12 months in American and French oak barrels, conferring mellow coconut and vanilla aromas. It is medium bodied with more red fruit flavours coming through on the palate alongside more coconut. It has a tangy acidity and soft finish.
