This Single Vineyard comes from the La Capilla vineyard located in Peralillo and is established on an alluvial soil of very low natural fertility and with a high proportion of silt, sand and volcanic ash.
The unique character of this terroir gives the wine very clear fruit notes, great minerality and elegance, and a palate characterized by the texture of its fine tannins. We conceptually illustrate this soil on the new label.
The background color is a light gray, almost white, corresponding to the whitish color seen in the vineyard, a result of the volcanic ash.

Tasting Notes
Bright and deep red color, with a violet hue. The nose is expressive and complex, with prominent notes of ripe red fruits, such as black cherry and currants, followed by a subtle tobacco aroma.
The palate is balanced and well-structured, with firm and silky tannins that provide tension and texture, accompanied by fine nutty notes in the aftertaste, leading to an elegant and persistent finish.
