Aroma: cassis, dark plum, floral violet, incense

Palate: concentrated black fruit, graphite, licorice, ultra-fine tannins

Pradorey's prestige single-vineyard expression from the Valdelayegua parcel: cassis, violet and incense with graphite and licorice depth from 24 months in new French oak.

What it pairs with

  • Prime aged Castilian beef
    High concentration and dense tannins demand the richness and fat of properly aged beef.
  • Braised venison with mushroom
    Graphite, incense and concentrated fruit mirror earthy game and forest mushrooms.
  • Aged Manchego DOP viejo
    The wine's fine tannins and concentration are grounded by crystalline aged cheese.
