Tasting Notes

The palate is greeted with a robust and full-bodied experience, mirroring the intensity of its aromas. The dark fruit flavors dominate, complemented by a peppery spice that adds vibrancy. The oak aging lends this wine a smooth, velvety texture, with well-integrated tannins that are firm yet refined. There's a delightful balance between the fruit, acidity, and alcohol, making it both powerful and elegant.

About the Winemaker

The people behind this project are all wine lovers who decided to make a dream come true by making honest, iconic wines together. We decided to name our inaugural release “Alpasión,” a combination of the Spanish “alma” (soul) and “pasión” (passion). The Alpasión label features the fingerprints and signatures of all of the winery’s owners as testimony to friendship for life. The estate consists of 85 hectares of land, 60 of which are organic vineyards. Alpasión practices sustainable organic farming to ensure the health of soils, ecosystems and people. Part of the vineyard is planted in the shape of a giant fingerprint.
