Tasting notes
Full ruby color. A complex blackcurrant, blackberry aroma with a touch of violet and hints of red pepper, vanilla and herbs. A smooth, rounded palate with a layer of ripe tannins and a full-flavoured, toasty finish. A good balance of acidity will enable the wine to improve in bottle for up to five years.
Estate
Where Art & Wine Become One - Art is universal and so is Enate. The essence of the winery, locked into every drop and printed on every label. Enate and art come together at a lofty point: the desire to create. When it began in 1992, the winery decided that the pairing of winemaking and contemporary culture would be an essential feature of its character. Enate began a contemporary art collection, bringing together works by Spanish and international artists. Since then, each of their wines has been associated with a well-known painter, with a work painted specially for our winery appearing on the label.
Food pairing
Its full fruity flavour makes it ideal accompaniment
to hot and cold meats, cheeses and even fish in a rich
sauce. Best served between 14-16 C.
Vinification
Each grape variety was pressed then fermented
separately in stainless steel tanks kept at 24 C.
The wine underwent both alcoholic and malolactic
fermentations and was aged for six months in 225
litre, French oak & American oak barrels, for precisely
the right period of time so as to provide a touch of
distinction to the wines.
