Beskrivelse
NB: varebillede er 2017 – vinen er fra årgang 2016
2016 WAS A REALLY DRY VINTAGE BUT THE GRAPE QUALITY WAS GREAT. THE YIELD HAS BEEN SMALLER THAN PREVIOUS YEARS, NEVERTHELESS THE GRAPE HEALTH CONDITIONS WERE PERFECT. THAT WEATHER ALLOWED THE PETIT VERDOT TO BEHAVE AMAZINGLY AND TO FULLY EXPRESS ITS MINERAL AND BALSAMIC CHARACTER, WHICH IS THE TRUE REFLECTION OF THE SERRANÍA DE RONDA LANDSCAPE, WHERE IT IS GROWN.

The bouquet is one of intense spices, with balsamic flavour, and notes of black pepper and black plum.
MOUTH
In the mouth, the wine is intense, concentrated and fresh.
Its powerful tannins match perfectly with a beautiful acidity.
Tadeo 2016 is a well-balanced and complex wine, with a long finish. The minerality, inherent in this grape variety, together with the spicy flavours of the barrels, makes this wine unique.
