  Family Holidays; 7/28/2023-9/10/2023 (Alicante - España): By the glass. Another presentation of three bottles, two of them different single varietals and the last of mixture. We start with a 100% caiño bottle very fresh and intense in the mouth with that acidity that opens the nostrils and taste buds. Aging for 12 months in French oak barrels and another 8 months in stainless steel tanks without egg fining.
  Aromatically it is an herbaceous essence wine with balsamic notes of eucalyptus gum. Simple but effective. A lot of tension on the palate but little salinity. A correct bottle but without highlighting in excess.
  
  Por copas. Otra presentación de tres botellas, dos de ellas diferentes monovarietales y la última de mezcla. Comenzamos con una botella 100% caiño muy fresca e intensa en boca con esa acidez que abre las fosas nasales y las papilas gustativas. Envejecimiento de 12 meses en barrica de roble francés y otros 8 meses en depósitos de inoxidable todo un proceso sin clarificar.
  Aromáticamente es un vino herbáceo esencia con notas balsámicas de chicle de eucalipto. Simple pero efectivo. Mucha tension al paladar pero poca salinidad. Una botella correcta pero sin destacar en exceso.

  Lightweighter ready for an all-nighter. Light ruby, translucent in the glass. Fragrant nose showcasing forest raspberries, touch of grape, red cherries, herbs, a bit of earth. Palate is light-bodied, yet slightly grippy and with substance, vivid acidity, energetic. Saline, dry and somewhat sour finish!
