Wine types
White Wine
Made from the Macabeo variety. Pale yellow in colour, it is distinguished by its fresh, fruity character, preserved by leaving a touch of carbon dioxide in the wine after fermentation.
Rosé Wine
Made from the Garnacha Tinta grape variety, noted for its varietal character. The strawberry colour is lively and attractive, with floral rose aromas and a fruity nose. They are meaty wines, fresh and balanced, with a long finish.
Red Wine
Made principally with the Garnacha Tinta and Tempranillo varieties. The young wines have the colour of morello cherries, with tones of violet and are crystal clear. The intense aromas are reminiscent of blackberries and other black fruit. Recently, our range has expanded to include Syrah; a perfect foil for the Garnacha, Tempranillo; aged in oak as a single variety, and Garnacha Viñas Viejas, from vines of more than 40 years old.
The oak aged red wines Crianzas have a cherry or ruby red colour. They are complex, combining ripe fruit, liquorice, vanilla, roasted coffee and cream with a good structure.
