Aromas of blackcurrants and blackberries with hints of chocolate, coconut, licorice, blue flowers and walnuts. Round, juicy and polished with firm tannins and savory blue-fruit character.

Winemaker Notes

Very bright, deep cherry-red in color. Complex and elegant on the nose, with predominating stewed red and ripe dark fruit; balsamic, spicy and smoky. Rich in tertiary aromas. Silky entry, with interesting, long-lasting, ripe tannins. Very pleasant velvety, balsamic and ripe fruit sensations.

Winery Notes

PradoRey's history dates back to 1503 when the Earl of Ribadeo sold the Real Sitio de Ventosilla estate to Queen Isabella I of Castile, belonging to the Crown of Castile until 1521 when King Charles I bestowed the estate to the 2nd Marquis of Denia.

In 1600 his descendant the Duke of Lerma initiated its exploitation as an agricultural and livestock farm and also built the Palace.
