The wine
Old Hands Roble wine is made with the Monastrell variety. After fermentation, attending to the needs that the grapes demand of us, the wine remains for four months in oak barrels. This passage through wood will melt the aromas of the variety together with the spicy touches, giving a wine of exceptional quality.
On the nose, hints of fig bread, chocolate, mocha and aromas provided by the aromatic herbs that naturally grow in the scrubland that surrounds our organic vineyards.
In the mouth, its ripe tannins stand out. It is a long wine with an aromatic finish.
