Pricum :: Paraje El Santo

26,00 I.V.A. Incluido

It is the most different of the entire range since the old vines were planted in sandy soils, which tend to deliver wines with less alcohol and higher acidity. In fact, it is lighter and with a different aromatic profile, with a floral touch but with the earth core and tree bark of the variety. The palate has abundant tannins that are fine-grained and not as dusty as the variety tends to show, with a lively acidity. It is an austere and powerful red, difficult to guess its origin, with character and a rustic touch.
