Formerly, this wine was known as 'Lealtanza'
Producer tasting notes: "Lively garnet with ruby highlights. Complex and wellbalanced bouquet; this wine has a well-layered nose of red raspberry and liquorice accompanied by smoky and spicy notes coming from the oak. It is supple and rich on the palate, with a meaty texture and lively fruit. A mediumbodied red wine with soft drying tannins and just enough acidity to make this wine very food friendly. Its ripeness and long finish will please many wine-lovers. It will gain complexity in the cellar." - Bodegas Altanza
