This wine is one of the finest examples of Syrah to be found in Spain as this grape variety is perfectly suited to the unique and extreme climatic conditions that mark our Finca La Solana vineyards in the highlands of Castilla – La Mancha. This wine is characteristically lush and mouth-filling with jammy black fruits and minerality followed by a hint of black pepper. It is a very enticing and gratifying wine.
