Aroma: blackberry, plum jam, roasted cedar, dried herbs

Palate: dark cherry, cedar, herbs, structured tannins

Full-bodied Reserva from Trus with concentrated dark cherry, cedar and herbs from 18 months in French oak, with the structure to develop in bottle.

What it pairs with

  • Slow-roasted lamb shoulder
    Dark fruit and cedar structure complement the richness of slow-cooked lamb.
  • Grilled sirloin steak
    Firm tannins need the protein and fat of a well-aged beef cut.
  • Cured sheep's cheese
    Savoury cured cheese pairs well with the wine's herbal and cedar notes.

History

The Trus Reserva extends oak maturation to 18 months in French barrels, applying the western-sector Tinto Fino fruit to a structured, age-worthy style that builds complexity with bottle time.
