The wood that Sandra Bravo uses on this high-altitude Tempranillo from the Sierra de Toloño hills is really just a container to "let the wine breathe". Racy, vibrant, refreshing yet concentrated, it's a delicious glass of wine at the price with crunchy plum and black cherry fruit and appealing focus. Drink from 2023-2028.
