Product Description:

WINE:
"The ultimate marriage! Tempranillo (50%), Cabernet (20%), Merlot (20%), Parraleta (5%) and Moristel (5%). All vinified separately and then aged for 18 months in new French or American oak casks. While completing malolactic fermentation in barrel, they undergo weekly battonages. The end result is serious stuff that tastes like it should come from Bordeaux, with sublime depth and power. It has to be tried! " -Importer
