MIRTO(TEMPRANILLO 100%,RED DRY WINE) 2018

Iconic Tempranillo from old vines. Dark ink in the glass, intense aromas of blackberry, cassis and notes of espresso, vanilla and cocoa. Super structured, robust and plush.

70+ year old vineyards in Rioja Alta (Labastida & Haro), on poor soils with low yields. Aging for 19 months in new French barrels and an additional 24 months in bottle before being released to the market.

Fits with:

Meat: Wagyu beef, game with demi-glace sauce, stew with wine and plums & aged cheeses (Parmigiano Reggiano, Roncal).

Vegan: vegan bourguignon with mushrooms & carrots, baked roots with tahini & cumin.
