MOUTH
In the mouth, the wine is fresh and complex with a powerful, long finish. The wine will evolve and improve in the bottle over the years,
even if it is already incredible to drink now.
Pago El Espino reflects the singularity of Ronda’s wine, designed and created under the sun of Andalucia, but in vineyards surrounded by mountains and close by the sea. In other words, what is making unique Cortijo Los Aguilares.
