45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Monastrell & 10% Syrah fermented & matured separately for 12 months. It's ripe at 15% alcohol, & the oak is quite integrated & in the background. The palate is medium to full-bodied with fine tannins.
Tasting Notes:Sweet cherries and dark plums with an exotic spicy finish reminiscent of white pepper. Garnacha de Fuego is a young, fruit forward, authentic expression of the oldest clones of Garnacha in the world. Considered by many to be one of the fine

Oyster shells, fresh lemon zest, fennel and some blanched almonds to the nose. Crisp and medium-bodied on the palate with fresh acidity and some grapefruit skin in the finish. Drink now.
Monastrell, Cabernet-Sauvignon & Syrah; Purple/black in color, it proffers a nose of pain grille, graphite, earth notes, spice box, black fruits, and a hint of balsamic.

This is serious & young but balanced, nuanced & complex. They are shortening the time in oak, as they feel they have better & younger barrels & think the wines need less time in oak & more time in bottle.

Aromas of perfumes and violets with blueberries follow through to a medium body with very fine tannins that run the length of the wine and show muscle and length. Linear and toned. Give this time to open and show you more.
