Sensory Description:

Aromas of wild strawberry, cranberry, and red currant are layered with dried herbs, subtle earth, and a touch of spice. The palate is vibrant and medium-bodied, with juicy red fruit framed by fresh acidity and fine, silky tannins. Grenache brings brightness and lift, Tempranillo adds structure and depth, Pinot Noir contributes finesse, and Graciano introduces aromatic complexity and spice. The wine carries a savory undertone with hints of garrigue and mineral nuance, leading to a clean, persistent finish that balances freshness with subtle grip.
