Tasting note

This Pata Negra Gran Reserve is red wine with an intense red color with light terracotta hues. The nose presents aromas of aging which are complemented by the characteristic aromas of the varietal, which are not fruity but have evolved to produce more complex spice and dairy aromas. It is a well-structured wine, very agreeable, enveloping, with a long finish.

Winemaking

This Pata Negra Gran Reserve is obtained from selected grapes. It is fermented at a controlled temperature around 25-30ºC and maceration with the skins for around twenty days to obtain the structure and color of a wine designed to be stored for five years. After malolactic fermentation the wine is placed in American and French oak barrels where it remains for 18 months. After this time the wine is bottled and stored for aging in bottle.

Pairing

We recommend serving this Pata Negra Gran Reserve from the Valdepeñas Designation of Origin at temperatures between 16º and 18ºC.
Pata Negra Gran Reserve, with good Valdepeñas, goes perfectly with red meat and roasts.
