The wines from Ronda tend to be quite earthy due to the heavily weathered limestone presence in the soil. This wine incorporates this deep minerality nicely with black fruit aromas and flavors, and a spiciness that brings it all together. Acid is medium plus, tannins are smooth yet grippy meaning this will age, although with a nice decant it is drinkable now.

Very well made wine. Some raisin me rightness due to southern Spain locale. Oak is integrated. Nice acid and fresh fruit. Nice long finish.

As the white before….
This is local, and the chef knows the combination! Stood up against slow cooked korean style ribs from local meat. Do not do this often but people when in Marbella do go and have dinner here. The wine…. Fruit forward but so well balanced. As always less is more. @sauvage

Ripe dark fruits, bit of fragrance, balanced tannin forward chased by a slight sourness on the back of tung but quickly mellows out. Approachable wine
