Grown at around 1,290 metres on schist and clay soils, it shows ripe blackberry, black cherry and plum alongside balsamic herbs, forest floor, mint and subtle mineral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOn the palate, it is powerful and concentrated yet retains impressive freshness, with ripe dark fruit supported by a velvety texture and structured tannins. The grapes are hand harvested and naturally fermented with indigenous yeasts before maturation in oak barrels, bringing additional notes of spice, vanilla and savoury complexity. With significant bottle age, the wine offers an evolved, persistent finish while retaining its distinctive high-altitude character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen’s Recommendation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for drinkers interested in mature, naturally made Spanish reds and an unusual high-altitude expression of Merlot.
