This varietal Spanish red wine is sourced from vineyards with clay-iron and sandy soils around 40 years old. They are located on the outskirts of Tabuenca, in DO Campo de Borja, Aragón, an area with a Continental climate at roughly 700 metres above sea level.

Nose | This varietal Grenache is fine, moderately ripe and expressive, suggesting aromas of pure red cherry fruit, wild herbs and sweet spices, with a dash of Cointreau, liquorice and some wild flowers. |
Palate | Medium-bodied and balanced, this wine of bodega Gil Pejenaute carries lovely red berries with a spicy and floral edge to the red fruit, with some powdery tannins and a tense, linear acidity leading to a long finish with candied citrus and herbs. |
