With its distinctive Mediterranean style, this Valencia gives off spicy aromas of sandalwood, truffles and violets. The expression of each of the grape varieties used can be found in this warmly nuanced cuvée. The woodiness is supportive, not overpowering the silky, melting texture of the tannins. A wine full of sunshine!
