Meteorology/ Climatology
2018 was an atypical year. Higher than average rain, especially in spring. Heavy and constant rainfall. Drier summer, especially from 15th of August to 15th of September. From then the temperature went down, allowing a slow ripening with a late harvest of great quality (between 8th and 30th of October).

Tasting
Notes
Notes of black amber plum, blueberries, blackberries, borage flower and thyme, with a menthol background.
Wine pairing
Ideal to enjoy with friends by the glass and with some snacks. We propose also a regional dish: Ternasco, the young lamb from Aragón. Try accompanying it with Oven Roasted Potatoes.
Serving
The liturgy of the wine service recommends tasting it between 14-16°C with a glass such as Riedel Hermitage, but we will be pleased if you enjoy it with what, when and however you choose.
