Sipping Fine Wine

The winery was founded in 2003 with 3 generations of vine cultivation. A blend of 70% Garnacha Tintorera & 30% Monastrell. Deep red with complex fruit and spice aromas. Black cherry and raspberry flavors with some cacao on fine tannins. Lingering finish, ending with mineral notes. Good value.

Love this wine, rich with flavor but light on the wallet.

Spicy and earthy, a light effervescence on opening. Great for the price.

Entry level wine from the Gil family. New world in style. Certainly nothing to complain about for $8
