This Rioja red displays an intense ruby color with garnet reflections. The nose reveals a magnificent fruity expression, highlighting ripe cherries, raspberries, and plums, enveloped by subtle floral notes, hints of fine spices, and a delicate earthy base. On the palate, it is elegant and harmonious, with a silky texture, perfectly polished tannins that lend it tremendous finesse. The palate is dominated by pure, fresh red fruit, supported by balanced acidity and a medium body, culminating in a long, fresh, and very refined finish. A single-vineyard Rioja that prioritizes elegance over power, revealing the full class of Finca Estarijo's terroir.
