Cruz del Pendón

Deep ruby red colour, clean and bright. Intense and complex on the nose. Vibrant ripe black fruit (blackberries, plums) with floral violet hints. A tremendously expressive ensemble subtly combined with spicy and creamy notes.
Fresh, silky, fruity and round. Broad on the palate, the wine opens the way to long-lasting fruit and scrubland flavours.
