Nose

An aromatic firework of dark berries unfolds here: Cassis, Blackberries and sun-warm Wild raspberries meet Blueberry muffins. With contact with the air, the wine develops its Mediterranean soul - intense notes of Rosemary, Thyme and wild Sage marry with Roses and Violets. Subtle echoes of Cinnamon and Juniper and a beguiling Minerality give the bouquet exceptional depth and complexity.

Served slightly chilled, the Sotorrondero reveals all its class. refreshing acidity and Fine-grained tannin structure create a perfect balance between power and finesse. The dark fruit flows elegantly across the palate, supported by earthy depth and mineral precision. A wine with 14.5% alcohol that never seems heavy - on the contrary: it demands the next sip.

Departure

Long, fresh and characterised by persistent fruitiness, with a finish of Mediterranean herbs and fine minerality.
