Grapes and production:

This Andalusian red wine is made with a coupage of red grapes, with the following composition: 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Syrah, 18% Tintilla de Rota and 2% Petit Verdot.

The estate's clayey soil and the temperate climate with moderate rainfall contribute to the unique character of the grape.

The wine is then aged for 12 months in new and second-use American and French oak barrels.
