Tempranillo, the long time king of grape varieties, can be grown and made into very different styles. This is from Calatayud, Aragén, a relatively new area which has been revolutionized in the last 10 years. This Tempranillo is extremely low cropped at about 43 hl per hectare. The wine displays a smoky, chocolate aroma with an incredible rich scent of cherry flavours and tobacco. On the palate it is ripe, integrated yet pure and quite spicy.
