The 2 ha El Pison vineyard was planted in 1945 on a gentle sloping site in the shape of an amphitheatre with deep sub-soils. Made entirely from Tempranillo, El Pison is a very rich and intense age-worthy style typically showing great purity of fruit and abundant chalky tannins that benefit from additional cellaring.

Nose: Rich caramel swirls with toasted oak. Vanilla and dark cherry beckon. Subtle spice teases the senses. It’s a warm invitation. Palate: Velvety toffee coats the tongue. Black pepper and ripe plum dance. Oak’s depth lingers boldly. A luxurious sip unfolds. Finish: Long and spicy, with sweet molasses. Cinnamon warms the throat. Oak’s embrace endures. It’s profoundly satisfying.
