Winemaking: Cluster selection and berry selection. The vineyards are specially curated for the production of Gran Ricardo. In this wine we apply the technique of pre-fermentative cold maceration for five days and post-fermentative maceration for 8 days.

Aging: 18 months in new French oak barrels.

ABV: 13.9%.

Vineyards of Origin: Guadalupe Valley and Ojos Negros.

Visual: It is a deep ruby red wine with purple tones and a vibrant color.

Nose: Aromas of black cherry and black currant, blackberry, huckleberry, raspberry. Violet flowers. Delicate herbal notes of rosemary and clove. Balsamic notes of eucalyptus and spices such as black & white peppers. Elegant oak, nutmeg, vanilla and cocoa. The aromatic profile is complex, elegant and continuously evolving.

The palate is restrained and full-bodied. It is an unctuous wine that wraps around the palate. Dry, with lots of lively fruit, fresh acidity and a warm alcohol. The tannins are ripe, polished but firm, giving it a velvety body. The finish is reminiscent of black fruit, subtle caramel and fine herbs & spices.

The set of qualities in its appearance, aromatic profile and expression on the palate, outline an ultra-premium wine. Excellent to drink it in its youth or to cellar for up to 15 years.

Pairings: This wine goes well with fine cuts of great flavor and texture: Pork Belly, Tomahawk, porterhouse, lamb chops and rack of lamb, beef or pork ribs. Long cooking preparation on grill. Blue and long aged cheeses, Iberian ham and loin.
