Joven Roble
You would never have imagined that by fermenting a selected red grape, 100% Tempranillo and monitoring its temperature, a wine such as this could be obtained.
Ageing: 6 months in american oak casks and 6 more in the bottle until its release on the market.
Look: cherry with purple rim.
Smell: subtle red fruit aromas with underlying hints of vanilla from the wood.
Taste: drink it at 15º-16º so as not to miss out on its fruity hints which leave a long, elegant aftertaste.
