This varietal Rioja pours a deep, opaque cherry red with violet rims, opening with intense aromas of wild blackberries, black pepper, and a distinct herbal freshness reminiscent of eucalyptus and violets. On the palate, it is vibrant and tension-filled, driven by the grape's signature high acidity which lifts the dense black fruit flavours, supported by chalky tannins and a long, mineral-edged finish.
Pairing Suggestion: Grilled lamb chops with rosemary, chorizo and lentil stew, or roasted pork loin.
