BODEGAS PASTOR DIAZ
The Pastor Diaz family have been growing vines and making wine in Rioja for over two centuries. The company is still in family hands, and is now run by the fourth successive Gonzalo Pastor!

Selection of Tempranillo and Graciano grapes from the estate’s oldest vineyards.

Made following the traditional method of stemmed grapes, fermented and macerated for at least 21 days at a controlled temperature.

Aged for at least 24 months in French- and American-oak casks which are no more than 2 years’ old, and subsequent rounding off in the bottle before release for sale.

Ruby red, with medium depth of colour and an amber-orange rim

On the nose very intense, fragrant aromas evolve through dark-berried fruit, very ripe blackberries and bramble jelly, over a base of new oak, chocolate, spices, vanilla and lovely toasted nuances.

In the mouth it unveils great personality, with very silky, soft tannins which make it round and balanced. It leaves a very pleasant, lingering aftertaste in its path.
