Ego Bodegas Gorú
WHY WE LOVE IT
- The vineyard site is located in the D.O.P. of Jumilla.
- Vegan certified and Gluten Free.
Varietal Composition: Monastrell, Syrah, Petit Verdot
Elaboration: The harvest is done by hand at the optimum ripening time. Each grape variety was separately fermented and macerated with their own peels during 15/20 days at a controlled temperature no higher than 28º C. The blend then spends 4 months in American oak barrels before bottling.
Tasting Notes: Deep-red colored wine with purple edges, stands out because of its intense aroma of red and ripe fruit, pleasantly creamy, accompanied with touches of toasted tones. It is fruity and flavorful in the mouth, meaty and toasted with soft and ripe tannins.
