DESCALZOS VIEJOS AIRES 2016

The DV Aires 2016 is a red wine made from a selection of Petit Verdot (80%) and Garnacha (20%) grapes from the Descalzos Viejos estate, located on the Tajo Valley in Ronda, at an altitude of approximately 650 meters. The estate's soils are stony, limestone, and high in clay, giving the wine a rich minerality. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, followed by 16 months of aging in 500-liter French oak barrels, giving it a solid structure and remarkable aromatic complexity.
